Discover the rare beauty of Swietenia macrophylla, commonly known as Big Leaf Mahogany or Honduras Mahogany. This species of plant belongs to the Meliaceae family and is known for its valuable and genuine mahogany timber, making it a prized possession among furniture makers and enthusiasts alike. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss, this majestic plant has been listed as an endangered species on the CITES list, making it increasingly difficult to source its native mahogany. While commercially unavailable since the late 1990s, Swietenia macrophylla remains a symbol of grace and elegance, reminding us to cherish and protect our natural resources.
