Kino \Ki"no\, n.
   The dark red dried juice of certain plants, used variously in
   tanning, in dyeing, and as an astringent in medicine.

   Note: The chief supply is from an East Indian leguminous
         tree, the {Pterocarpus Marsupium}. Other sources are
         the African {Pterocarpus erinaceus}, the tropical
         American sea grape ({Coccoloba uvifera}), and several
         Australian Eucalypti. See {Botany bay kino}, under
         {Botany bay}, {Gum butea}, under {Gum}, and
         {Eucalyptus}.
