The Meliaceae, or the Mahogany family, is a
flowering plant family of mostly
trees and
shrubs (and a few
herbaceous plants) in the order
Sapindales,They are characterised by alternate, usually pinnate leaves without stipules, and by syncarpous, apparently bisexual (but actually mostly cryptically unisexual)
flowers borne in panicles, cymes, spikes, or clusters. Most species are
evergreen, but some are
deciduous, either in the
dry season or in
winter.
