Stinkwood \Stink"wood`\, n. (Bot.) A name given to several kinds of wood with an unpleasant smell, as that of the F[oe]tidia Mauritiana of the Mauritius, and that of the South African Ocotea bullata.

''Ocotea bullata'', (stinkwood or black stinkwood, , , ) is a species of flowering tree native to South Africa. It produces very fine and valuable timber which was formerly much sought after to make furniture. Due to over-exploitation it is now a protected species. Other names for it are Cape Walnut, Cape laurel, and laurel wood. The name "stinkwood" comes from a strong smell that is released when it is fresh felled.
