In today's domestic timber market, two types of Madagascar rosewood are commonly found. One is *Dalbergia louvelii*, often referred to as "big leaf sandalwood," and is now officially called "black rosewood" in the national standard "Redwood." The other is *Dalbergia greveana*, commonly known as "Barisan," which is classified as "red rosewood" under the same standard. However, a few years ago, some darker varieties were mistakenly labeled as "black acid branch," causing confusion among consumers.
When it comes to distinguishing between red and black rosewood, wood experts rely on species classification, while many people tend to judge based on color. This discrepancy often leads to misunderstandings and complaints from buyers.
Madagascar rosewood has become a highly valued material in the mahogany furniture industry, with its raw material prices steadily increasing. As trends in furniture materials evolve, Madagascar rosewood is gradually replacing traditional Southeast Asian rosewood and is becoming the mainstream choice in the rosewood market. The other major alternative is "Myanmar rosewood."

In the domestic mahogany furniture market, Burmese rosewood is the most common type of rosewood furniture. It can be divided into two main species. One is "knife-shaped black rosewood" (*Dalbergia cultrata*), also known as "Myanmar black wood," and is officially named "black rosewood" in the national standard "Redwood." The other is commonly referred to as "white rosewood" or "flower rosewood" (*Dalbergia oliveri*), and is now classified as "red rosewood" under the same standard.
In the furniture manufacturing industry, knife-shaped black rosewood and *Dalbergia fusca* from Cambodia are often used interchangeably, considered the same "wood species" and collectively called "Southeast Asian black rosewood." Similarly, "Madagascar black rosewood" consists of two species: *Dalbergia louvelii* and *Dalbergia maritima*.
Traditionally, "red rosewood" referred to *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* from the Indochina Peninsula (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). This was distinguished from *A. arborescens* and sometimes called "red red acid" or "old redwood."
"Myanmar Red Rose" is currently the largest-selling rosewood in the domestic market. With recent changes in import taxes and border trade policies over the past six months, its price has risen by nearly 50%, reaching approximately 12,000 yuan per cubic meter. As rosewood prices continue to climb, some small-scale furniture factories have started using African *Burkea fricana* as an alternative to "Burmese red rosewood," sometimes labeling it as "African Rosewood."
