Brosimum rubescens, the bloodwood, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae.[3] It is native to Panama and wet tropical South America.[2] A straight-trunked tree reaching 40 m (130 ft), it is typically found in lowland forests and in forest edges between rainforest and savannah.[3] Often forming monotypic stands, it is harvested for its timber, but is assessed as Least Concern.[1]
