Notes: Label source: Peruvian mahogany Imp. Inst. M583.25. Sent for verification as true mahogany. Mr Boodle has examined the small sample of Peruvian mahogany supplied by Mr Fraser. It agrees with the wood of Swietenia in microscopic structure and is probably, from a species of that genus. (note from the letter book 20.7.29.) J.H.H. 14.viii.30.
