Sri Lanka, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, has three main climatic zones, wet, dry, and intermediate, primarily determined by annual rainfall. The country's topography varies from coastal plains to central hills, fostering a rich variety of landscapes, flora, and fauna. Three Dalbergia species are native to the country, namely D. candenatensis—a shrub/liana, D. lanceolaria—a tree, and D. rostrata—a woody climber. Additionally, different eras introduced six Dalbergia species to the country’s botanic gardens, with D. latifolia being the only one in cultivation. Among the native species, D. rostrata exhibits a wide distribution across various elevations in the wet zone and lower elevations in the dry and intermediate zones. D. candenatensis exhibits the most restricted distribution, occurring in a limited number of locations within the lower elevations of the wet and dry zone mangrove areas. The intermediate and dry zones’ low and mid-elevations are home to D. lanceolaria. These three species lack commercial value, though D. lanceolaria timber is occasionally used in cottage industries.
