Mahogany is an evergreen tree that can grow to more than 20 m tall and yields reddish brown timber. The leaves are pinnately compound, 15-25 cm in length, each with three to five pairs of ovate or oblong leaflets that are 5-8 cm long and 2.5-4 cm wide with pointed tip. The flowers are small, 0.5-0.7 cm in diameter, and grow in clusters at the ends of branchlets. Due to its strength and golden lustre, Maghony wood is a good material for furniture. In addition, its beautiful shape also makes it a top choice for afforestation or sidewalks. There are a total of 93 Mahogany trees on campus, distributed on both sides of the Chung Cheng Boulevard; the courtyard of the College of Science; and on the slope next to the Faculty House.
