How to identify Dalbergia pinnata
Identify Dalbergia pinnata by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.
- Look for a climbing shrub 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-May.
- In India, compare location records such as West Bengal, Karnataka, Sikkim, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and nearby regions.
- Confirm it sits within the Fabaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Dalbergia pinnata.
