Pl. check
Thanks …, but in my opinion this is not Honduras Mahogany as I am very familiar with that tree and there are many such tree in Dhakuria Lake. But there are only 2 of this tree I have notice in Dhakuria lake. S macrophylla has a pattern of fissure that is missing (bark is smooth). I’ll send a few pictures of S macrophylla from Dhakuria lake
Pl. check bark and leaves at Swietenia macrophylla
To me it is african mahogany.
You mean Khaya senegalensis ?
Correct.
