Aquilaria rostrata
Aquilaria rostrata is a species of tree in the family Thymelaeaceae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is sometimes used for agarwood,[2] but unsustainable harvesting is believed to be threatening agarwood-producing species and therefore is discouraged by environmental groups.[3]
