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.
The genus Paraserianthes originally comprised four species, divided into two sections based on morphological traits by Nielsen. [11] [12] Section Paraserianthes included P. lophantha with two recognized subspecies, and section Falcataria included three species (P. falcataria, P. pullenii, and P. toona). [11] [12] Based on morphology, P ...
Falcataria falcata had previously been classified within the genera Adenanthera, Albizia, and Paraserianthes before being moved to the new genus Falcataria, as the most widely distributed of the three species in the genus. [6] [4] This widely cultivated timber tree is still called by the common name "albizia" in Hawaii and elsewhere.
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.
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.
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.
A flame cell is a specialized excretory cell found in simple invertebrates, including flatworms (Platyhelminthes), rotifers and nemerteans; these are the simplest animals to have a dedicated excretory system. Flame cells function like a kidney, removing waste materials. Bundles of flame cells are called protonephridia. [1]
Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane, which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested materials. Endocytosis includes pinocytosis (cell drinking) and phagocytosis (cell eating). It is a form of ...
