What is 'Okoume'…???

I keep seeing this questioned on many threads, so I thought I’d start a dedicated thread to the subject…

Okoume | The Wood Database – Lumber Identification (Hardwood)
Aucoumea klaineana – Wikipedia

African Mahogany | The Wood Database – Lumber Identification (Hardwood)
African mahogany – Wikipedia

Any other pertinent information out there?
