Intsia bijuga, commonly known as merbau or ironwood, is a large tropical hardwood tree in the Fabaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, it is highly valued for its dense, durable timber, which is used in construction, flooring, and furniture. Traditionally, parts of the tree—including bark and wood extracts—have been used in folk medicine for their antimicrobial and healing properties. With its ecological, economic, and cultural importance, Intsia bijuga remains a significant species in tropical forests and human livelihoods.
