Not match May be Albizia lucidior. … is right. The characters appear to be within the range of variation of Albizia lucidior having 1-3 pairs of pinnae and (1-) 2-5 (-7) pairs of leaflets, acuminate at apex and the terminal, once or twice branched panicles of heads (2-few-together) and the latter with 10-15 dimorphic flowers (central flower different from the marginal flowers). Image of the pods are welcome. Seeking Id of a Albizia species: 2 high res. images. I would like to seek ID for a Albizia sp. Please check Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. ! Thank you for your valuable suggestions on this species. However, I feel this species does not qualify to be called A. lebbeck. Because A. lebbeck has leaves rounded at apex and base, seeds 5-15 whereas this Albizia has acute or shortly acuminate apex and cuneate base, and seeds not more than 8 nos per pod. Moreover, Pinnae not more than 3 pairs, and leaflets not more than 7 pairs in this species. Albizia lucidior (Steud.) I.C.Nielson ex H.Hara ?? Some morphological characteristics of the species are: Rachis: 7 – 17 cm long
Base gland: rounded or elliptical
Apical gland: 1 or 2 (rounded)
Pinnae: 1 – 3 pairs
Leaflets: 2 – 7 pairs
Leaflet: 4 – 7.5 x 1.6 – 3.5 cm
Petiole: c. 2 mm long
Pod: 9 – 20 x 2 – 3 cm
Seeds: 3 to 8 nos (ca. 5 to 8 mm long).
The Pinnae and leaflets are matching with A. lucidior but other characters are mismatching. Probably, it refers to this species only. Albizia lucidior (Steud.) I.C.Nielson ex H.Hara: Location: Suryavinayak, Bhaktapur, Nepal

There may be many trees.
Details are confusing.
Pl. crop the details and post.
I see flowers in one of them. By the way there are flowers in all images. Pl. crop the details and post. Going by the inflorescence, it appears to be from Fabaceae.
You can try with Albizia or similar genus.
Pl. check: I guess this is the correct ID ! . References: |
