Thanks to all who are helping me with this species. There are other changes that ought to be made. The colorful graphic for mahogany, both the wikicyclopedia page and wikispecies page is very inaccurate. There is no terminal leaf as depicted and the seed is off as well. The valve is better represented in a number of other illustrations. The best I've seen is in the public domain: C.D. Mell's True Mahogany USDA Bulletin No 474, February 9, 1917 pages 17 and 18. You can easily bring those up. You will note I recommended that publication and it was placed in the reference section. Again thanks. C.A. Hill

The images will need to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in order to be usable here, and I have no experience with doing that. Perhaps someone there can help with that.Koumz (talk) 14:43, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The proper description of the scientific name includes the date of the publication. Therefore, the following: (L.) Jacq. 1760 The publication is listed in the reference section. C.A. Hill173.65.6.209 19:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
