Albizzia (after Albizzi, an Italian naturalist). Leguminosae. Ornamental woody plants chiefly grown for their handsome foliage and also for their attractive flowers; some are valuable timber trees; closely allied to the acacias. Trees or shrubs: Ivs. deciduous, alternate, bipinnate; Ifts. usually small and numerous, oblique: fls. in axillary, peduncled spikes or globular heads; calyx tubular or campanulate, 5-toothed; corolla small, funnelform, with the segm. connate more than one-half; stamens numerous, more or less connate at the base, exserted: fr. a large strap-shaped pod without pulp.—About 25 species in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Afr. and Austral.; 1 in Mex. The albizzias are unarmed trees or shrubs with graceful feathery foliage and yellowish, white or pink flowers in summer. Most of the species can be grown only in subtropical and tropical regions except A. Julibrissin which is the hardiest species and can be grown as far north as Washington, D. C. A. lophantha is sometimes grown as a greenhouse shrub. For cultivation, see Acacia. A. moluccana, Miq. Tree: rachis of the Ivs. with many glands; pinnae 14, each with 12-40 Ifts., obliquely elliptic-oblong, glaucous and pubescent beneath. Moluccas.—Incompletely known. CH
