Leaf and bark pattern of Dalbergia sissoo and Dalbergia latifolia:
Dear friends,
This post has become necessary to clear the doubts among our readers about the identification of Dalbergia sissoo (Sisu) and Dalbergia latifolia (Eeti, Thothakathi, East Indian Rose wood).
- Sissoo leaves have pointing tip whereas the leaves of Latifolia are blunt and rounded.
- While the bark of D.Sissoo is dark brown, very rough thick layer and with cracks, the bark of D.Latifolia is gray in colour, thin and smooth in appearance.
