Maclura tinctoria, known as old fustic and dyer's mulberry,^[3] is a medium to large tree of the Neotropics, from Mexico to Argentina. It produces a yellow dye called fustic primarily known for coloring khaki fabric for U.S. military apparel during World War I.^{[citation needed]} This dye contains the flavonoid morin.^[4] It is dioecious, so both male and female plants are needed to set seed.^[5]

The leaves can be used to feed silk worms.^[6]

Old fustic is not to be confused with young fustic (Rhus cotinus) from southern Europe and Asia, which provides a more fugitive colour.
