黄花梨,中文学名:降香黄檀,别名:海南黄檀、海南黄花梨、花梨。蝶形花科,黄檀属,为豆科植物, 又称海南黄檀木、海南黄花梨木。原产地中国海南岛吊罗山尖峰岭低海拔的平原和丘陵地区,多生长在吊罗山海拔100米左右阳光充足的地方。因其成材缓慢、木质坚实、花纹漂亮,黄花梨木与紫檀,鸡翅木,铁力木并称中国古代四大名木。始终位列四大名木之一,现为国家二级保护植物。
据《中国树木志》记载,野生海南黄花梨产于海南岛上除万宁、陵水,五指山市以外的各市县,其中白沙、东方、昌江、乐东、三亚、海口为主要产区。它们一般生长于海拔350米以下的山坡上。名贵的海南黄花梨则主要生长在黎水地区,其中尤以昌江王下地区的海南黄花梨最为正宗。珍贵两广沿海,越南部分地区也有出产,海南产量曾几度远超其他地区。解放后,尤其是改革开放后,由于过度开采,产量大不如前。

黄花梨木的比重较轻,比红木还要轻。黄花梨木纹理清晰,如行云流水,非常美丽。最特别的是,木纹中常见的有很多木疖,这些木疖亦很平整不开裂,呈现出狐狸头、老人头及老人头毛发等纹理,美丽可人,即为人们常说的“鬼脸儿”。
