[Histonet] hematoxylin article

[Morken, Tim - Labvision]

Bryan, that is an interesting article. 

Here is a site about Campeche, Mexico, where the tree was discovered (hence
"Haematoxylum campechianum"). 
http://www.travelyucatan.com/campeche.htm

But now I am wondering how this name originally pronounced? It seems the
genus name would be pronounced "Haemato-xylum, considering the dye source
which is the xylum of the tree. 

And if that is the original plant name pronunciation, how was the name of
the dye originally pronounced? We now (at least in the US) say
"haema-tox-ylin" but maybe it was originally "haemato-xylin."

There is a very interesting article on hematoxylin and the other logwoods at
http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ecoph4.htm.  The article describes how logwood
dyes were introduced to Europe, and how they resulted in the creation of two
countries.  Photos of the trees are included.
