This native species of mahogany is known as the Ivory Mahogany, and it has one of the largest leaves (in terms of length) of the native mahoganies. They can be readily distinguished by the size of the compound leaf and the very conspicuously uneven bases.

Sapling leaves reach close to 2m in length. This is in stark contrast to mature trees where the leaves are not as long. It is only when we see the young and the mature together that we can fully understand how different juveniles look compared to adults.
