Laos / Vietnam

Laos and Vietnam were once the page’s second point for oud; the pin is gone. Which Aquilaria grows there is not on record here: the CITES database lists Aquilaria malaccensis in Vietnam but not in Laos.

This record keeps Wikidata’s centroid for Laos and its local time; no point for Vietnam is filed.
