Synonyms: Dalbergia changhuagensis

Wikipedia Abstract

Dalbergia odorifera, or fragrant rosewood (Chinese: 降香黄檀; pinyin: jiàngxiāng huángtán; literally: "drooping fragrant dalbergia"), is a species of legume in the Fabaceae family. It is a small or medium-sized tree, 10–15 metres (33–49 ft) tall. It is endemic to China and occurs in Fujian, Hainan, Zhejiang, and Guangdong. It is used as a wood product and in folk medicine. This valuable wood is known in China as Huali and Huanghuali. Higher quality furniture from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were made of this wood. It is threatened by overexploitation.
