East Indian rosewood is a large deciduous tree of the legume family with pinnate leaves, small white flowers and dark, purple-brown, beautifully streaked heartwood. It grows in the tropical monsoon forests of peninsular India, including the Western Ghats of Kerala.
The heartwood has been used in traditional skin care preparations and is highly valued for fine furniture and musical instruments. Rosewood species are listed on CITES Appendix II and their timber trade from India is controlled, so it is protected and restricted in trade and not offered here.
