Dalbergia lanceolaria is a species of tree in the subfamily Faboideae and tribe Dalbergieae. ^[2] It is a medium-sized tree growing to 20m tall ^{[3] [4]} and is native to: India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Burma ^[4] and Indo-China. ^[3]

The bark of the tree is traditionally used as an analgesic and anti-diarrhoeal. ^[5] The apiose isoflavone compound lanceolarin is found in its root bark. ^[6]

Because it produces new stems (ramets), it is recommended for reforestation projects on degraded land where seeds are unlikely to grow successfully. ^[7]
