Every entry is researched from multiple independent sources — botanical databases, forest-products laboratories, the IUCN Red List and the timber trade — and the figures are cross-checked before we publish. Where sources disagree, we show the range. All writing is Cochin Wood Industries' own; sources are cited on each page.
