Dalbergia occulta [2] is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. [3] Its original description was based on a single collection, which explains its botanical name (from the Latin word occultus "hidden, concealed"). [3] [4]
The IUCN Red List lists Dalbergia occulta as critically endangered. [5]
Due to overexploitation and the risk of confusion with similar species, Dalbergia occulta and other Dalbergia species from Madagascar were listed in CITES Appendix II [6] in 2013, currently with a zero export quota. [7]
