Yes, Satish Sir, according to the Bengal Plants :- i) leaflets 1.5 in. long or less; capsule 4 in. long or less ------ * mahagony* ii) leaflets 3 in. long or more; capsule 7 in. long or longer ------ * macrophylla* * * Intensive plantation programmes during the past 15 yrs in our state have resulted so many mahogany trees in our locality. While *S. macrophylla* found its places both on roadside and in private properties the *S. mahagony* can be found chiefly on roadside.
