Dalbergia

a large genus of small to medium sized trees, bushes and vines in the pea family, Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae.
It has recently been transferred to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia
clade (or tribe): Dalbergieae.[2][3][4] The genus has a wide distribution, native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, Africa, Madagascar and southern Asia.

Fossils

A fossil † Dalbergia phleboptera

the pod was found in the Chattian deposit, a municipality from Aix-en-Provence in France.[5]
Fossils of † Dalbergia nostratum
were found in rhyodacite tuff of lower Miocene age in southern Slovakia near the town of Lucenec.[6]
Fossil seed pods of † Dalbergia mecsekense
were found in the Sarmatian deposit in Hungary.[7]
† Dalbergia lucida
fossils have been described from the Xiaolongtan Formation of late Miocene age in Kaiyuan County, Yunnan Province, China.[8]

Jacaranda propagation

Plants are propagated by seeds and cuttings.

Growing Jacaranda from Seeds

Seed propagation is carried out in the spring. Before sowing the seeds, they are soaked - placed in a warm place, wrapped in a damp cloth - for a day. Plant at a depth of about 1 cm and water.

Jacaranda seeds germinate in warm (22-25 °C) mini-greenhouse conditions within 14-20 days.

When the jacaranda shoots appear, the amount of light is increased and the seedlings are transferred to a place with bright, diffused light. Seedlings are planted 1 copy at a time. in 7 cm pots. The substrate is made up of humus soil - 1 tsp, peat - 1 tsp, light turf - 2 tsp and sand - 1 tsp. Subsequently, the plants are transferred into 9- and 11-cm pots.

From late spring to mid-summer, jacaranda can be propagated by cuttings.

Uses

Many species of Dalbergia

important timber trees, valued for their ornamental and often aromatic wood, rich in aromatic oils. The most famous of these is the rosewood, so named because of the wood's odor when sawn, but the genus produces several other valuable woods.

Species such as Dalbergia nigra

known as Rio, Bahia, Brazilian Rosewood, Rio Grande Rosewood or Jacaranda and
Dalbergia latifolia
known as (East) Indian Rosewood or Sonokeling, were widely used in furniture given their color and texture. Several East Asian species are important materials in traditional Chinese furniture.

(Brazilian) tulip tree ( D. decipularis

) cream colored with red or salmon stripes.
Most often used in crossover and other veneers; not to be confused with the "tulip tree" of the American tulip tree. Liriodendron tulipum
, used in low-cost cable network.

Similarly used (but purple with darker stripes) and also Brazilian, Kingwood is given by D. cearensis

.
Both trees are small to medium-sized, up to 10 m. Another noteworthy wood is cocobolo, mainly from D. retusa
, a Central American wood with a showy decorative orange-red pattern on the freshly cut surface that quickly fades in the air to more muted tones and shades.

Dalbergia sissoo

(Indian Rosewood) is mainly used for making furniture in northern India.
Its export is strictly regulated due to recent high rates of tree mortality due to unknown causes.[ clarification needed

Dalbergia sissoo
has historically been a major rosewood species in northern India. It is a strong and durable wood with a golden to dark brown color. It is very durable and beautiful, retains its shape well. It's easy to season. It is difficult to work with, but requires fine polishing. It is used to make high quality furniture, plywood, bridge pilings, sporting goods and railroad ties. This is a very good material for decorative work and wood carving. Density 770 kg/m³.

African ebony ( D. melanoxylon

) is an intensely black wood, in demand for the manufacture of woodwind musical instruments.

Dalbergia

The species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including
Bucculatrix mendax
which feeds exclusively on
Dalbergia sissoo
.

To Dalbergia

species are known to cause allergic reactions due to the presence of sensitizing quinones in the forest.

Application

Rosewood would make excellent frames for windows and doors, but to buy such a product you need to pay quite a hefty fee. After all, one cubic meter costs about 10 thousand rubles. You have to be a very wasteful person to afford something like this.

The official authorities do not welcome parquet made from this raw material, but the production of furniture classified as “Luxury”, as well as items that decorate the interior, is still available. Musicians have also heard about the wonderful properties of this wood, because it is used to make playing materials such as acoustic and electric guitars, as well as fingerboards and bows.

In addition, the plant has also found its use in billiards, where cues made from it are used. Chess players also play with pieces made from such raw materials. Knife handles are made of rosewood. They are usually purchased by real masters of hunting or sports. It also makes good veneer. Craftsmen combine different types of cutting and plowing to produce beautiful, high-quality plates with picturesque patterns. In this material, aesthetics are intertwined with good strength and high quality. Therefore, rosewood often becomes a design element for cabins in airliners and compartments on trains classified as extra-class. It can also be found on yachts. This is a sign of luxury and sophistication, nobility. This material is not characterized by rapid rotting or dullness.

Health Benefits of Indian Rosewood (Sheesham)

Of course, in our country, herbal treatment sometimes causes wildness. But not in India! In this country, traditional medicine is rooted in religious beliefs. So the sheesham tree occupies quite a place of honor in Ayurveda.

Indeed, how many diseases can be cured with the help of Indian rosewood? And below we list the most famous ways to use it.

1) Burning sensation and skin irritation

Many men and women complain of an occasional burning sensation. Our skin reacts to a variety of irritants: changes in weather, chemicals from cosmetics, etc. As a result, unwanted side effects may appear, such as redness and burning.

In such a situation, it makes sense to use sheesham oil. It will quickly soothe the skin and relieve unpleasant blemishes.

2) Stomach irritation

Various stomach problems can be treated with Indian rosewood. To do this, drink 10-15 ml of juice from shisha leaves on an empty stomach.

3) Eye diseases

Regular consumption of Indian rosewood is beneficial for eye problems such as red eyes. To prepare the drops, simply add honey to the sheesham juice. Putting 1 - 2 drops into the eyes quickly relieves irritation.

4) Relieves fever

Indian rosewood has medicinal properties for all types of fever. To do this, mix 20 g of sheesham powder, 320 ml of water and 160 ml of milk. All this must be boiled in milk. When there is little milk left, the remaining mixture is drunk, divided into 3 doses per day.

5) Treats anemia

Anemia or anemia is a kind of quite dangerous disease. It causes a decrease in the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood, and thereby loss of blood in the human body. To cure anemia, Ayurveda recommends drinking 10 - 15 ml of sheesham leaf juice. Usually this dose is divided into two doses: morning and evening.

6) Urinary tract diseases

Intermittent urination, burning sensation, pain when urinating, etc. can be weakened by taking Indian rosewood. To do this, it is recommended to prepare a decoction of 20 - 40 shisha leaves and drink it 3 times a day.

7) Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea disease is also treated with sheesham. Grind 8 - 10 Indian rosewood leaves and 25 g of candy. You can take dried leaves powder and mix it with candies. Take morning and evening.

Diarrhea

Indian rosewood can be taken to prevent diarrhea. Take Indian rosewood leaves, kachnar leaves and barley. Mix all three ingredients and prepare a decoction using them. Afterwards, you need to add ghee and milk to it at the rate of 10 - 20 ml per 1 liter pan of broth.
