Aniba rosaeodora or rosewood tree, also called rosewood like some other species, is a type of plant from the genus Aniba withinthe laurel family (Lauraceae). The species is subject to the Washington Convention on Endangered Species .

Aniba rosaeodora and Aniba parviflora (Meisn.) Mez u. a. like Aniba terminalis and Aniba panurensis , provide rosewood oil and are often confused. Aniba rosaeodora , the “real rosewood tree”, however, provides the better quality oil.

In Brazil, Aniba rosaeodora is also known as “Pau-rosa”, but this name is also used for some other species with red wood.

description

Aniba rosaeodora grows as an evergreen tree and reaches heights of up to 30 meters. The trunk diameter is usually up to 70 centimeters, but it can be a lot larger. The yellowish-brown or reddish bark is thin and scaly.

The short-stalked, slightly leathery and shiny leaves are alternate and glabrous on the obverse, as well as pale green and slightly papilloseand slightly hairy on the underside. The leaves are elliptical, lanceolate to obovate, -eilanceolate, the tips are pointed or pointed to pointed, the entire margins are slightly bent downwards. The short and plump, up to 1.5 centimeters long petiole is channel-shaped. The leaves are 7–20 centimeters long and 3–6 centimeters wide.

Terminal or axillary, multi-flowered and panicle , thick-stalked inflorescences are formed. The small, short-stalked and hermaphrodite flowers with 6 sloping tepals in 2 circles are hairy and orange-yellow. The stamens and staminodes are arranged in 4 circles, the fourth circle is often missing.

The ellipsoidal, purple, about 2.5-3.5 centimeters large and bare stone fruits or berries sit in a woody, bowl -shaped fruit cup and are lonely.

All parts of the plant smell aromatic.

Taxonomy

It was first described by Adolpho Ducke as Aniba rosaeodora Ducke in Rev. Bot. Appliq. 8 (1928) 845, published in Arch. Jard. Bot. Rio de Janeiro 5 (1930) 109, t. 4, f. 5. Synonyms are Aniba duckei Kosterm. and Aniba rosaeodora var. amazonica Ducke .

distribution

Aniba rosaeodora occurs in the northern tropical rainforest areas of South America .

Use and endangerment

The rare essential oil (rosewood oil) obtained from its reddish wood mainly contains linalool . It is used as a fragrance oil in perfumes and cosmetics. The wood ( rosewood , pau rosa , bois de rose "femelle" ) is also used to make chopsticks and furniture. Aniba rosaeodora is due to the intensive use as endangered ( endangered classified). Since 2010 the species has been listed in Appendix II of the Washington Convention on Endangered Species.
