Family: Thymelaeaceae. 
Native to: Tropical and subtropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, including countries like Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Northeast India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Borneo, and New Guinea. 
Agarwood Formation: The fragrant resin, which is the source of agarwood's value, is produced as a defense mechanism by the Aquilaria tree when it is infected by a specific type of mold, Phaeoacremonium parasitica. 
Appearance: Before infection, the heartwood is light and pale, but as the infection progresses, the heartwood becomes dark and saturated with resin. 
Other Names: Agarwood is also known as oud, oudh, aloes, agar, gaharu, or jinko, depending on the region and language.

Economic Value:
