Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. ex DC. (1825) 416; Benth. (1852) 254; Miq. (1855) 128; Benth. (1860) 40; Prain (1901) 40; (1904) 57, t. 34; Backer & Bakh. f. (1964) 615. — Type: Roxburgh s.n. (K K000264286 ), India.
Distribution — India; Malesia: Java.Also widely cultivated in Asia.
Habitat & Ecology — Primary forest , edge of forest. Altitude up to 850 m. Flowering: November; fruiting: October, November .
Uses — A valuable timber wood. See Prawirohatmodjo et al. 1993: 160.
Notes — The species was collected at least twice on Java in supposedly natural habitats: Mangsaed Ja. 6466, Central Java, Grobogan, 1954, primary forest, not planted; Popta 922, Java, Dago, 1949, edge of forest. However, it is difficult to determine the status of specimens when the species is also (widely) cultivated. At the base of the stipules or between the stipules and the twigs ‘colleters’ may be found. Bracts may have some gland-like structures at the base of the margins .
Most of the references to literature or specimens given by Miquel (1855) concern D. rostrata .
