Falcataria falcata (Moluccan albizia; as Albizia eymae, A. fulva, and A. moluccana) Havardia albicans (as Albizia lundellii and A. rubiginosa) Heliodendron basalticum (as Albizia basaltica) Heliodendron thozetianum (as Albizia thozetiana) Hesperalbizia occidentalis (palo escopeta; as Albizia obliqua, A. occidentalis, and A. plurijuga)
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.
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 ...
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.
Paraserianthes lophantha (syn. Albizia lophantha), the Cape Leeuwin wattle, Bicol wattle, Cape wattle, Crested wattle, Brush wattle [4] or plume albizia, is a fast-growing tree with creamy-yellow, bottlebrush like flowers. [5]
As the common name describes, A. falcata resembles shriveled or dead leaves. It is not to be confused with Acanthops falcataria, a different species in the same genus that is often referred to with the same common name. Acanthops species have an unusual degree of sexual dimorphism compared to other mantids.
