Aquilaria crassna is a species of plant in the Thymelaeaceae family. It is found in throughout southeast Asia and in New Guinea.
Aquilaria crassna is one source[1] of agarwood, a resinous heartwood, used for perfume and incense.[2] The resin is produced by the tree in response to infection by a parasitic ascomycetous mould, Phaeoacremonium parasitica,[3] a dematiaceous (dark-walled) fungus.
