If you like mahogany, you must know: How do 16 kinds of wood called pear blossoms distinguish?

On the market, wood called “rose pear” is not uncommon, and the precious ones are like Hainan huanghua pears, which are often tens of thousands of pounds, and popular pear and pear blossoms.


The rosewood species in the “Hongmu” “national standard” are called “rose pears”, and many alternative materials with similar materials are also commonly known as XX Huali.


Although they are all called "Hua Pear", they can have a world of difference in materials and prices. Some of them are high in price, while others are still in the "civilian" market.

Chinese name:花梨木

Generic name: Pterocarpus

Latin: Pterocarpus spp.

English name: Padauk,narra

Commonly known as: grass pear, new pear, sweet rosewood


Among all types of mahogany materials, rosewood can be said to be the most widely used. Rosewood's high cost performance, reasonable raw material prices, furniture out of the price is also relatively close to the people, coupled with its bright colors , touch the feel and texture is better, so deeply loved by the public.


At present, rosewood furniture accounts for the majority of the mahogany furniture market sales, is the red brick market, a true " mainstay ." However, although “rosewood” is the most common name in mahogany furniture, it is difficult for many beginners of mahogany enthusiasts and mahogany knowledge to conceptualize the type of rosewood.


We believe that the new tree friends must clarify the following three concepts to make clear the rosewood:


First, many people think that pear and rosewood are similar. In fact, Huanghuali is Dalbergia scented wood, scientific name Dalbergia Dalbergia; and rosewood is a rosewood, so in the industry there is a classification name for rosewood called " Purple is a pear "; In addition, the market in order to put rosewood Differing from the expensive "Huang Pear", they are also called " Sweet pears ."


Second, the specific species of rosewood are called “XX Red Sandalwood”. It is easy for people outside the industry to think of sandalwood, which is commonly known as lobular rosewood, and rosewood for sandalwood, while rosewood is rosewood. Classes, both belong to different categories , we must be clear about the similarities and differences between the two.


Third, there are many woods on the market called XX Huali, but in the real sense, there are only seven kinds of rosewood in the “Redwood” national standard. The reduction of the XX pears outside these seven types of wood is actually a misleading common name. Therefore, no matter how high-end atmosphere it is commonly called and how much it is like rosewood, it is also necessary to ask its scientific name, and to see that this scientific name is not in the "Hongmu" national standard.


In the following, the seven kinds of rosewood in the Hongmu National Standard are confused with the commonly known as easy-to-use rosewood, or they are easily used to impersonate rosewood (Kimchee Pear), ancient Yi Sumu (Brazilian pear, divided into bus flowers, The information on the tree species of nine “imitation pears” such as minibus flowers, Angora rosewood ( high cotton pear) and African rosewood (red pear) is briefly introduced:
