Commercial uses – Falcataria falcata softwood is used to make match-sticks, chopsticks, shipping pallets, and wooden boxes. The pulp is used for paper-making. [10] Plywood production and veneer based products have increasingly been an important use for these trees. [6] Traditional uses – Whole tree trunks are carved for seagoing canoes.
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.
An alternative basionym must be sought or a new name created. The correct name is Falcataria falcata (L.) Greuter & R.Rankin. [11] The four names Adenanthera falcataria, Albizia falcataria, Paraserianthes falcataria and Falcataria falcata can each be correct given different taxonomic opinions that put the plant in each of these four genera ...
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.
Based on morphology, P. falcataria (L.) 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 ...
Cream albizia (A. adianthifolia) Albizia amaraThere are approximately 99 accepted species in the legume tree genus Albizia, the silk trees, sirises, or albizias. [1]Numerous species placed in Albizia by early authors were eventually moved to other genera, particularly Archidendron and many other Ingeae, as well as certain Acacieae, Mimoseae, and even Caesalpinioideae and Faboideae.
Falcataria gall rust fungus (Uromycladium falcatarium) is potentially specific to only one host plant, Falcataria moluccana.However, U. falcatarium is closely related to the acacia gall rust fungus U. tepperianum, which has almost 100 known hosts including plants from several tribes of Mimosoideae.

[1] [2] Other species to which the term may apply include Acanthops falcataria (South American dead leaf mantis), [3] A. falcata (South American dead leaf mantis), and Phyllocrania paradoxa (more common known as the ghost mantis).
