Dalbergia maritima is a threatened rosewood tree from the lowland coastal rainforests of eastern Madagascar, valued for its timber and rarely grown outside its native range. It is a forest tree, not a garden or houseplant, so it needs warm, humid tropical conditions and is best appreciated as a conservation species.
Dalbergia maritima is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is a tree endemic to eastern Madagascar. It grows in lowland coastal evergreen rain forest. It is threatened by timber over-harvesting habitat loss from forest clearance and mining, and the IUCN Red List assesses the species as Endangered.
