Description
A small tree, Rhus coriaria, native to Europe, whose leaves, bark and roots were used for dyes and tannins. The bark from the tree gives a fugitive pale yellow color when mordanted with alum but produces a strong black color with iron. Also called tanner's sumac, it was an important tanning agent in the Middle Ages.
See sumac.
