Mahogany Seed
Excerpt
Mahogany, Swietenia macrophylla, is a lofty fruit-bearing tree native to tropical areas of the Americas that is a valuable source of timber and also of herbal products made from its seeds, fruit (Skyfruit), leaves, stems, or bark. Recently, extracts of mahogany seeds have been reported to cause clinically apparent acute liver injury.
