Dysoxylum Quercifolium

Ironwood, scientifically known as Dysoxylum quercifolium, is a remarkable tree native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Its dense, hard wood has made it highly valued for construction and furniture-making for centuries. Despite its utility, the species faces threats from deforestation and habitat loss. The tree is also notable for its unique appearance, with broad, oak-like leaves and fragrant flowers. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this valuable and ecologically important plant.
