2001
Torelli, N. (Slovenian Forestry Inst., Ljubljana (Slovenia))
A brief outline is given of the terminology on the genus Dalbergia. The problem is discussed with particular emphasis on the incompatibility of the engl. rosewood and germ. Rosenholz as well as on the misleading names. Species of Dalbergia are similar in anatomical structure but differ in density, wood color, and color of the alcoholic extract (Brazier & Franklin 1961). The etimology of the word palisander is explained.
