[Karuna Das]

Dear All,

    Attached images are Aquilaria malaccensis Lam.(Syn =Aquilaria agallocha Roxb.) commonly found in Assam, mainly in Middle Assam. In Assamese it is known as Sanchi.  In some places it known as Agaru. When the tree gets infested with a fungus Phaeoacremonium parasitica the tree starts producing resin. The resin derived from this tree is very precious and valuable. It has a unique mixed and soothing fragrance. This fetches good value in international market.

With regards
