True, true.
Same..., taxonomic "Family", I believe, as true "Mahogany", but not really mahogany.
(Sounds close, but I understand things like Brussel Sprouts and Alfalfa are in the same family as each other. ) (BTW, just used these as an example becuase I can't remember what the actual plants are...but it was something similar).
