Dalbergia eremicola is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Kenya and Somalia.
Dalbergia is a large genus of small to medium-size trees, shrubs and lianas in the pea family, Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. It was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade : the Dalbergieae. The genus has a wide distribution, native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, Africa, Madagascar and southern Asia.
Dalbergia melanoxylon is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to seasonally dry regions of Africa from Senegal east to Eritrea and south to the north-eastern parts of South Africa. The tree is an important timber species in its native areas; it is used in the manufacture of musical instruments and fine furniture. Populations and genomic resources for genetic biodiversity maintenance in parts of its native range are threatened by overharvesting due to poor or absent conservation planning and by the species' low germination rates.
Rosewood refers to any of a number of richly hued timbers, often brownish with darker veining, but found in many different hues.
Dalbergia balansae also known as Dalbergia assamica is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found in China and Vietnam. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dalbergia baronii is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. It is named after the English missionary and botanist Rev. Richard Baron.
Dalbergia greveana is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
It is found only in Madagascar and is threatened by habitat loss.
Dalbergia madagascariensis is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Madagascar. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dalbergia maritima is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae; it is a rosewood, and its wood is often referred to as Bois de Rose. It is found only in Madagascar. It is threatened by habitat loss due to the over-consumption of its species.
Dalbergia monticola is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. It occurs at higher elevation, which gave the species its name.
Dalbergia oligophylla is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Cameroon, and naturalized in certain parts of the Caroline Islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dalbergia oliveri is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae which grows in tree form to 15 – 30 meters in height. The fruit is a green pod containing one to two seeds which turn brown to black when ripe. It is threatened by habitat loss and over-harvesting for its valuable red "rosewood" timber.
Dalbergia pseudobaronii is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its leaves are similar to those of Dalbergia baronii, which gave the species its name.
Dalbergia purpurascens is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
Dalbergia sambesiaca is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Mozambique.
Dalbergia suaresensis is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae, and is unique because it is only found in Madagascar. The plant's conservation status is listed as "endangered", and its continued existence on this planet is threatened by habitat loss.
Dalbergia tricolor is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Madagascar. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dalbergia urschii is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Madagascar.
Dalbergia retusa is a plant species in the genus Dalbergia. It is known to produce the wood called cocobolo. It is a fair-sized tree, reported to reach 20–25 m in height. This is probably the species contributing most of the wood in the trade. Because of the wood's great beauty and high value, the trees yielding this wood have been heavily exploited and are now rare outside national parks, reserves, and plantations.
Dalbergia rimosa is a species of liana, with the Vietnamese name trắc giây or trắc dây. The synonym Dalbergia discolor, with the Vietnamese name trắc biến màu, is no longer recognised. The genus Dalbergia is placed in the subfamily Faboideae and tribe Dalbergieae.
Dalbergia occulta is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its original description was based on a single collection, which explains its botanical name.
