About Sanderswood:

Red Sanders or Red Sandalwood is a species of Pterocarpus native to India. Chandan, the Indian word for Red Sandalwood which is Tzu-tan, are linked by etymology. The word tan in Chinese is a perfect homonym of tan, meaning cinnabar, vermillion, and the cognition is suggested by the interchange of chan for oriflamme, the vermilion ensign of the ancients. Chinese traders would have been familiar with Chandan. Tzu-tan then is the ancient Chinese interpretation for the Indian word chandan for red sandalwood.
