They belong to the legume family, but the red milk belongs to the genus, scientific name Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain. This is a precious wood, the flesh of the tree is reddish brown and is being hunted aggressively to close the table, make jewelry and many other uses at high prices. This species is also known as a rotten tree because it will have a bad smell when burned.
