Definition

  1. 1
    (Celtis australis) Árbol tradicionalmente incluida en la familia de las ulmáceas (Ulmaceae), aunque en la actualidad se incluye dentro de las cannabáceas, una familia próxima. Lodón proviene del cruce del latín lotus y unĕdo con -ōnis (mirra). Nombre que recibía el loto. Es por ello, que posiblemente se trate del árbol al que los clásicos (Heródoto, Dioscórides o Teofrasto) llamaron Loto.
  2. 2
    Madera del árbol almez(1).
