Mountain Mahogany
plant
mountain mahogany, (genus Cercocarpus), genus of five or six species of North American shrubs or small trees in the rose family (Rosaceae). The hard heartwood of these trees is highly valued for carving, and it is said that the common name was given by the Mormons, who used the wood to build the Tabernacle organ at Salt Lake City, Utah. The species are unrelated to the tropical mahogany trees of the family Meliaceae.
