Pithecolobium Saman, Benth. Enterolobium Saman, Prain). Rain Tree. Zaman. Saman. Figs. 3541, 3542. A large tree, reaching a height of 60-80 ft., with wide-spreading branches; branchlets velvety pubescent: lvs. 2-4-pinnate; lfts. 2-8-pinnate, oblique, ovate-oblong or suborbicular, up to 1 1/2 in. long, shining above, pubescent beneath: peduncle 4-5 in. long: fls. in heads, in short pedicels; calyx 1/4 in. long, pubescent; corolla about 1/2 in. long, yellowish; silky, villous; stamens 20, light crimson, shortly connected: pod sessile, straight, thick-margined, leathery-fleshy, glabrous, indehiscent, 6-8 in. long, 1/2-l in. broad, flattened or subterete. A native of Cent. Amer. and the W. Indies, but now widely distributed in the tropics as an ornamental shade tree. Blanco, Fl. Filip. 309. Jacq. Fragm. 9. G.C. III. 11:557.—The lfts. fold together on the approach of rain. A rapid grower. The pods contain a rich sugar-pulp and are eagerly eaten by cattle and horses. The seeds are of little food value as they are not digested and often cause slight digestive troubles. The pods when eaten by cows are said to increase the quality of their milk. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}} ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
