Pigment Description
A dye that can create "peachy yellows, ochery oranges, olive, and khaki," according to Sasha Duerr's book Natural Palettes. She lists the botanic name as Mallotus philippensis.
It's listed by Kremer as a Red Natural Resin, and is made from something colloquially called a monkey face tree. Somewhat confusingly, there are two latin names listed for it. More information can be found here
