Aquilaria filaria

Early flowering of Aquilaria filaria even if it's still a foot tall in its polybag. The wood of all members of this genus, when infected with a fungus, becomes a source of agarwood. It is highly valued as a source of an essential oil used in luxury oriental perfumery and an incense and is much used in Buddhist, Hindu and Confucian ceremonies. The silvery inner bark is highly valued for its strength and durability — used for making ropes and cloth. 😍🌱🌳
