Etymology
The genus name Dalbergia was named in honor of the Danish botanist, A. Dalberg, who contributed to the study of botany in the 18th century. The family Fabaceae, which includes this genus, is known for its significant ecological role and economic importance. Various species within the Dalbergia genus have been utilized for centuries, especially in tropical and subtropical regions where they thrive. The wood has been highly prized not just for its physical properties but also for its beauty, leading to extensive logging and, in some cases, overexploitation. This has resulted in the inclusion of certain species in the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) list, highlighting the need for sustainable management practices for these remarkable trees.
