Dalbergia lanceolaria is a species of legume in the Fabaceae family native to India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Burma.[2] It is a medium-sized tree.[2] The bark of the tree is traditionally used as an analgesic and anti-diarrhoeal.[3] The apiose lanceolarin is found in its root bark.[4]
Because it produces new stems (ramets), it is recommended for reforestation projects on degraded land where seeds are unlikely to grow successfully.[5]
