Dalbergia odorifera, or fragrant rosewood[3] (Chinese: 降香黄檀; pinyin: jiàngxiāng huángtán; literally: "drooping fragrant dalbergia"), is a species of legume in the Fabaceae family. It is a small or medium-sized tree, 10–15 metres (33–49 ft) tall.[4] It is endemic to China and occurs in Fujian, Hainan, Zhejiang,[4] and Guangdong.[5]
It is used as a wood product and in folk medicine.[3] This valuable wood is known in China as Huali and Huanghuali.[5] Higher quality furniture from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were made of this wood.[5]
Four compounds isolated from the root of this plant have been shown in a laboratory to have antioxidant properties.[6]
It is threatened by overexploitation.[1]
