The flowers are produced in loose inflorescences, each flower small, with five yellowish petals about 2 mm long, and ten stamens. The fruit is a five-valved capsule (fruit), capsule containing numerous winged seeds.

Uses
The timber of a few species is traded as a tropical hardwood. It is sometimes termed under the generic label of ''mahogany'', and while ''Entandrophragma'' is part of the family Meliaceae, it is not classified as Swietenia, genuine mahogany. The species shares many of the characteristics of genuine mahogany and is used as an alternative, with ''Sapele'' and ''Utile'' in particular bearing a close resemblance./ref>
