Falcataria falcata (syns. Albizia falcata, Falcataria moluccana and Paraserianthes falcataria), commonly known as the Moluccan albizia, is a species of fast-growing tree in the family Fabaceae. [3] It is native to the Maluku Islands, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and the Solomon Islands.
Falcataria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the monophyletic Mimosoid clade [ 1 ] [ 3 ] in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae . [ 3 ] The genus has three species previously classified in the Falcataria section of the genus Paraserianthes by I.C. Neilsen.
I.C.Nielsen was moved to the genus Falcataria by Barneby and Grimes, [13] and renamed Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W.Grimes . [ 13 ] Brown et al. used biogeographical, morphological and molecular studies to completely separate of these sections into two genera as Paraserianthes sensu Nielsen was paraphyletic . [ 14 ]
Uromycladium falcatarium (falcataria gall rust fungus) is a species of rust fungus in the genus Uromycladium. It was circumscribed by mycologists Doungsa-ard, McTaggart & Shivasin in 2015. [1] The species infects the Fabaceae tree Falcataria moluccana (= Paraserianthes falcataria) [1] in south-east Asia.
The delimitation of Falcataria and Pithecellobium, close relatives of Albizia, is notoriously complex, with species having been moved between the genera time and again, and this will likely continue. These include Falcataria falcata (the Moluccan albizia, formerly named Albizia moluccana), a common shade tree on tea plantations.

The Wao Kele o Puna Reserve is threatened by a number of invasive species, including strawberry guava (Psidium cattleianum), Molucca albizia (Falcataria moluccana), Koster's curse (Clidemia hirta), and glory bush (Tibouchina herbacea). Albizia occurs widely in the surrounding area, but is limited to a relatively small number of sites within the ...
Forests at low and intermediate elevations are dominated by exotic plants such as Cinnamomum verum, Falcataria moluccana (= Paraserianthes falcataria), Alstonia macrophylla and Chrysobalanus icaco. [1]
