Aquilaria rostrata Ridley |
Aquilaria rostrata is a species of plant in the Thymelaeaceae family. It is endemic to Malaysia. It is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN. It is sometimes used for agarwood,[1] but unsustainable harvesting is believed to be threatening agarwood-producing species and therefore is discouraged by environmental groups.[2]
