How to identify Dalbergia paniculata

Identify Dalbergia paniculata by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.

  • Look for a tree habit.
  • Confirm leaf type: Pinnately compound (leaflets in rows along a stalk).
  • Confirm leaf surface: Glabrous (smooth, hairless).
  • Confirm flower colour: White.
  • In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: February-October.
  • Confirm it sits within the Fabaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Dalbergia paniculata.
