Ed, here is the wrong wording " What species of wood is".
Zircote is within the specie of Cordia.
The qsn should have been asked as "what wood"

Cordia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the automobile, see Mitsubishi Cordia.
Cordia Cordia boissieri in bloomScientific classificationKingdom:Plantae(unranked):Angiosperms(unranked):Eudicots(unranked):AsteridsOrder:(unplaced)Family:BoraginaceaeSubfamily:CordioideaeGenus:Cordia

Sebestena Boehm.[2]

Cordia is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae. It contains about 300 species of shrubs and trees, which are found worldwide mostly in warmer regions. Many of the species are commonly called manjack, while bocote may refer to several Central American species in Spanish. The generic name honours German botanist and pharmacist Valerius Cordus (1515-1544).[3] Like most other Boraginaceae, a majority have trichomes (hairs) on the leaves.

Phil, if I understand your wikipedia qoute correctly, cordia would not be correct either because it is the genus, not the species. I'm probably wrong, but one of the only things that I remember from biology was the the acronym- Kings Play Chess On Fine Grained Sand, standing for Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. So that would indicate that Cordia is not the species, but the Genus and that any number of wood species would fall under that classification.

Phil I thought you were saying that the answer was Ziricote not Zircote which was why I was agreeing with you. If your answer was Cordia then you are in fact wrong.
