A weeping or pendulous form
of the Indian Rosewood, this
deciduous tree has a spreading
habit especially if pruned
occasionally. This beautiful
ornamental tree produces glossy
green pinnate leaves with up to
nine leaflets on arching branches.
The profuse, small, yellow peashaped
flowers with crumpled
petals generally cover the entire
tree from October - December
and make it an attractive
addition to any tropical garden.
As its common name suggests,
its wood is highly fragrant and,
when used in an infusion, is said
to fluoresce. The bark yields a
red dye and a sticky, oily gum. A
very hardy tree well adapted to
dry conditions.
