For Policy Econ 26(C):43–53 Pterocarpus indicus (Red Sandalwood) is a large, often multi-stemmed, evergreen to semi-deciduous tree with drooping branches and a spreading dome-shaped crown. The alternate, odd-pinnate, leaves, 10 in. long (25 cm), are composed of 5-11 green leaflets which are broadly ovate to elliptic shaped. A profusion of fragrant yellow pea-like flowers cover the tree in spring. When in bloom, the tree is a sight to behold. The blossoms are attractive to bees. Lasting only one day, the flowers fall off the next morning, creating a vibrant yellow carpet on the ground. They are followed by flattened one-seeded disc-like pods, 2 in. across (5 cm), that persist on the tree for months. The gray-brown bark is finely fissured and scaly. The tree may produce red sap when cut. Native to tropical and temperate Asia, Malaysia and to the northern and southwest Pacific region, Red Sandalwood is a graceful tree that has been widely introduced as a flowering shade tree and street tree. Red Sandalwood is the national tree of the Philippines.
