Entandrophragma utile

Entandrophragma utile, called the sipo or utile, is a species of large tree in the genus Entandrophragma, native to nearly all of tropical Africa facing the Atlantic, from Guinea to Angola, and as far east as Uganda.

[2] The timber is traded as a tropical hardwood.

It is sometimes called sipo mahogany.

It shares many of the characteristics of genuine mahogany and is used as an alternative.
