Khaya anthotheca : ウィキペディア英語版 | Khaya anthotheca
The East African mahogany (''Khaya anthotheca'') is a large tree species in the Meliaceae family. They may grow between tall and have greyish-brown bark. On the mature trees, white scented flowers bud at the ends of their branches. The name ''anthotheca'' was taken from the Greek word ''anthos'', meaning flower, while ''theca'' refers to a capsule. It is known by a number of other common names, including Nyasaland, Red or White mahogany. Oos-Afrikaanse mahonie is the Afrikaans name and Acaujo is its name in French. ==Range== It is widespread, occurring from Guinea Bissau east to Uganda and Tanzania, and south to Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It is fairly widely grown in plantations within its natural area of distribution, but also in South Africa, tropical Asia and tropical America. It is easily confused with other ''Khaya'' species like ''K. grandifoliola'', ''K. senegalensis'' or ''K. ivorensis'' in the north of its natural range.
