指小葉桃花心木(Swietenia Mahagoni (N.O. Cedrelaceæ))的木材，是分佈於熱帶氣候的喬木，主要是在墨西哥、古巴、中美洲、西印度群島和非洲，顏色變化由黃色到鮮紅棕色，因其材質堅硬、紋理細密且可以磨的很光滑，因此在家具製作和雕刻上非常有價值。桃花心木具有精細、筆直的紋理，需要高度拋光。它尺寸穩定，不會收縮、翹曲或膨脹。這種耐用性的深紅褐色木材於十八世紀被進口到歐洲，成為當地家具、鑲板和單板運用的流行材料。氨氣可為桃花心木帶來濃郁的紅色。桃花心木經常受到針孔蛀蟲的攻擊。許多顏色相近的木材也被稱為桃花心木，但通常不具備真正桃花心木豐富色彩或精細切割特性。然而，非洲卡雅楝屬（Khaya）相關植物亦可生產類似木材。英國齊本德爾（Chippendale）、海普懷特（Hepplewhite）和亞當（Adam）兄弟則使用桃花心木製作高品質家具。

桃花心木屬(屬)

英文....	Refers to the wood of trees of the genus Swietenia, found in tropical climates, primarily in Mexico, Cuba, Central America, and the West Indies. It varies in color from yellow to a rich red brown, and is valued in furniture-making and sculpture-carving because it is hard, fine-grained, and takes a high polish. Mahogany has a fine, straight grain that takes a high polish. It is dimensionally stable and does not shrink, warp, or swell. The durable, dark reddish-brown wood was imported to Europe in the 18th century where it became popular for furniture, paneling and veneer. Ammonia brings out a rich, red color in mahogany wood. Mahogany is frequently attacked by pinhole borer beetles. Many woods of similar colors have also been called mahoganies, but usually do not have rich color or fine cutting characteristics of the true mahogany wood. However, the related African genus Khaya produces a similar wood. Mahogany was used by Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and the Adam brothers for high quality furniture.
荷蘭語....	Verwijst naar het hout van de Swietenia, een boom die groeit in tropische klimaten, voornamelijk in Mexico, Cuba, Midden-Amerika, en West-Indië. De kleur varieert van geel tot een volle roodbruine kleur en het is vooral geschikt voor het vervaardigen van meubels en beelden, omdat het hard en fijnkorrelig is en snel glanst.
西班牙語....	Se refiere a la madera del Swietenia, árbol que se encuentra en climas tropicales, fundamentalmente México, Cuba, América Central, y Antillas. Varía de color de amarillo a un intenso marrón rojizo, y es muy apreciado para muebles y esculturas en madera por su grano duro y fino. Alcanza un excelente pulido.
