Spanish term or phrase: árbol de tinto
There isn't much context for this, but it comes from a paragraph describing the environment in Chontalpa, a region in southeastern Mexico:

Abundaban los cedros, caobas, ceibas, árboles de tinto, varias especies de palmas y numerosas de trepadoras que proveían materiales de amarre.
