Dalbergia latifolia, commonly known as Indian Rosewood, is a tropical hardwood tree native to the Indian subcontinent. It typically grows to heights of 10 to 15 meters and is characterized by its dark brown to purple heartwood, which is highly valued for its durability and rich color. The tree produces small, fragrant flowers and is often found in dry deciduous forests. This species is widely used in furniture making, musical instruments, and decorative items due to its attractive grain and resistance to wear. However, Dalbergia latifolia is listed as endangered due to overexploitation and habitat loss, leading to conservation efforts to protect this valuable resource.
