Dalbergia oliveri is a species of legume in the Fabaceae family which grows in tree form to 15 – 30 meters in height (up to 100 ft.). The fruit is a green pod containing one to two seeds which turn brown to black when ripe. The trees are found in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Common names throughout S.E. Asia are: Cambodian: "Neang Nuon", Thai: "Mai Ching Chan" (ไม้ชิงชัน), Laos: "Mai Kham Phii", Myanmar: "tamalan" (တမလန်း), and Vietnamese: "cẩm lai" or "trắc lai". It's threatened by habitat loss and over-harvesting for its valuable red lumber.
