The three species are:
* Honduran or big-leaf mahogany (''[[Swietenia macrophylla]]''), with a range from Mexico to southern [[Amazon rainforest|Amazonia]] in [[Brazil]], the most widespread species of mahogany and the only genuine mahogany species commercially grown today.<ref name="Bridgewater-2012"/> Illegal logging of ''S.&nbsp;macrophylla'', and its highly destructive environmental effects,<ref name="Mahogany-2000">"Mahogany," ''Encyclopedia of Environmental Science'' (University of Rochester Press, 2000, ed.

* ''[[Swietenia humilis]]'', a small and often twisted mahogany tree limited to seasonally [[dry forest]]s in Pacific Central America that is of limited commercial utility.<ref name="Bridgewater-2012"/> Some [[botanist]]s believe that ''S.&nbsp;humilis'' is a mere variant of ''S.&nbsp;macrophylla''.<ref name="Bridgewater-2012"/>
