Dalbergia cochinchinensis
Also called Rose Wood, Siamese Rosewood, Tracwood
In Singapore: Thailand Rosewood, Trac, Tracwood (Grown in Singapore)
A large legume tree from Indo-China valued for its dense hardwood, now Critically Endangered in the wild due to illegal logging. It is grown mainly as a plantation or restoration tree in warm, humid tropical climates rather than as a garden plant.
Dalbergia cochinchinensis, the Thailand rosewood, Siamese rosewood, or tracwood, (Thai: พะยูง: Phayung; Vietnamese: Trắc (or Cẩm lai nam bộ); Khmer: ក្រញូង: Kranhung; Lao: ກະຍູງ: Kayung; Chinese: 酸枝木: Suān zhī mù ) is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae.
It is a tree yielding valuable hardwood found in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. In 2022 its status was re-evaluated as Critically Endangered caused by illegal logging and smuggling. Conservationists project that the species could be extinct within 10 years (by 2026).
