Description of Botanical Coloring Page: Thyine Wood, found in the book of Revelation, held in great esteem by the Romans, and employed for the most expensive furniture, is the wood of an almost leafless cypress, a native of the mountains of the Barbary States, Northern Africa. The branches are jointed, and the leaves are reduced to small sacales at the top of each joint. The resin exuding from the tree is known as gum sandarach. The wood is hard, fragrant, and of a redish-brown color
" The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,..." Revelation 18:12
