Pterocarpus dalbergioides
Also called Andaman Redwood, Narra, Andaman Padauk, Vermillion
Pterocarpus dalbergioides is a large evergreen tree from the Andaman Islands, valued for its reddish timber and grown in its native wet tropical climate. As a large tree it is rarely grown as a houseplant, so care here applies mainly to planting in warm, humid tropical conditions.
Pterocarpus dalbergioides, the Andaman padauk, Andaman redwood or East Indian mahogany, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is sometimes called "narra", but this is just a generic term used for any of several Pterocarpus species. It is native to the Andaman Islands.
The species is native and endemic to the Andaman Islands, India.
