Rosewood

Rosewood is wood from trees of the genus Dalbergia. 
The wood of "Dalbergia nigra" is known as "Brazilian rosewood", and also as "Bahia rosewood".It has a strong, sweet smell, which lasts for many years.
Another rosewood comes from "Dalbergia latifolia" known as (East) Indian rosewood or "sonokeling" (Indonesia). It is native to India and is also grown in plantations elsewhere in Pakistan (Chiniot).
Madagascar rosewood ("Dalbergia maritima"), known as "bois de rose", is highly prized for its red colour. It is overexploited in the wild. A 2010 moratorium on trade and illegal logging is being ignored.
Throughout southeast Asia "Dalbergia oliveri" is harvested for use in woodworking. It has a fragrant odour. "Dalbergia cultrata" is being used and sold as "D. olvieri".
