Mahogany is not actually a monocot; it belongs to the dicot group of flowering plants. Monocots typically have one seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of three, while dicots, like mahogany, have two seed leaves, branched leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of four or five. Mahogany trees are known for their hardwood and are classified under the family Meliaceae, which is characteristic of dicots.
