Aniba rosaeodora, also known as pau-rosa, is a species of Magnoliid tree in the family Lauraceae. Often confused as rosewood, the plant doesn't grow on any tree of the genus Dalbergia.[3] It grows in parts of the tropical rainforest of South America. It is an endangered species that is exploited due to its essential oil.[4]
