Dalbergia sambesiaca is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
It is found only in Mozambique.
Dalbergia melanoxylon in french Granadille d'Afrique is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to seasonally dry regions of Africa from Senegal east to Eritrea, to southern regions of Tanzania to Mozambique 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, sculptures vinyago in Swahili language and fine furnitures. 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 is any of a number of richly hued hardwoods, often brownish with darker veining, but found in other colours. It is hard, tough, strong, and dense. True rosewoods come from trees of the genus Dalbergia, but other woods are often called rosewood. Rosewood takes a high polish and is used for luxury furniture-making, flooring, musical instruments, and turnery.
Dalbergia sissoo, known commonly as North Indian rosewood or shisham, is a fast-growing, hardy, deciduous rosewood tree native to the Indian subcontinent and southern Iran. D. sissoo is a large, crooked tree with long, leathery leaves and whitish or pink flowers.
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 eremicola is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Kenya and Somalia.
Dalbergia greveana is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
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 nigra, commonly known as the Bahia rosewood, jacarandá-da-Bahia, Brazilian rosewood, Rio rosewood, jacarandá-do-brasil, pianowood, caviúna, graúna, jacarandá-una or obuina is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
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 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 tsiandalana 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. Trees of dalbergia urschii are often harvested for lumber, due to the high quality and unique color of its wood.
Dalbergia retusa is a plant species in the genus Dalbergia found in Pacific regions of Central America, ranging from Panama to southwestern Mexico. It produces the cocobolo wood. 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 latifolia is a premier timber species, also known as the Indian rosewood. It is native to low-elevation tropical monsoon forests of south east India. Some common names in English include rosewood, Bombay blackwood, roseta rosewood, East Indian rosewood, reddish-brown rosewood, Indian palisandre, and Java palisandre. Its Indian common names are beete, and satisal. The tree grows to 40 metres (130 ft) in height and is evergreen, but locally deciduous in drier subpopulations.
