ON THIS PLANT

Aniba rosaeodora, also known as pau-rosa, is a species of Magnoliid tree in the family Lauraceae that grows in parts of the tropical rainforest of South America. It is often mistaken for rosewood, but does not belong in the proper rosewood genus, Dalbergia, or even its order. Like rosewood, it is exploited for its essential oil, and has therefore become endangered.
