Botany   [ edit ]

Shrub or small to medium-sized, deciduous tree up to 25 m
tall; bole up to 100 cm in diameter; bark whitish to pale grey, finely
fissured; crown umbrella-shaped; young branches sparsely pubescent,
glabrescent. Leaves alternate, bipinnately compound with 4–15 pairs of
pinnae; stipules minute, caducous; petiole 1–2 cm long, in the apical half
of upper side with a sessile gland, rachis 1.5–9 cm long, pubescent;
pinnae ending in a large mucronate gland; leaflets in 10–35 pairs per
pinna, sessile, slightly obliquely oblong, up to 5 mm × 1 mm, obtuse to
acute at apex, glabrous except for hairs at margins. Inflorescence an
axillary head on 2–4.4 cm long peduncle. Flowers bisexual, regular,
5-merous, greenish white, almost sessile; calyx cylindrical to obconical,
1.5–2 mm long, pubescent; corolla 5–7.5 mm long, with tube 3–5.5 mm long,
pubescent; stamens numerous, 2–2.5 cm long, united into a tube at base,
white in lower part, pink-purplish in upper part; ovary superior, narrowly
ellipsoid, with 0.5–1 mm long stipe, glabrous, gradually tapering into a
c. 2.5 cm long style. Fruit an oblong, flat pod 8–21 cm × 3–5 cm, with
short stipe, slightly pubescent to almost glabrous, transversely veined,
brown, several-seeded. Seeds oblong-ellipsoid, 10–12 mm × 5.5–6 mm,
black.
Albizia bernieri usually flowers from October to
December.
Albizia comprises about 120 species and occurs
throughout the tropics. Approximately 35 species are found in continental
Africa and about 30 in Madagascar. It is characterized by the head-like
inflorescence, with 1–2 central flowers modified, functionally male and
having a larger, nectar-producing staminal tube. Molecular analyses showed
that Albizia is heterogeneous, and a revision of the genus is
needed.
Albizia polyphylla E.Fourn. has small glands at the tips
of pinnae like Albizia bernieri, but more pinnae per leaf and more
and smaller leaflets (up to 3.5 mm × 1 mm). In western and southern
Madagascar its wood is used for construction and dugout canoes, as well as
for firewood, and the bark is used to make rope.

Prospects   [ edit ]

Albizia bernieri timber will probably remain of local
importance for construction purposes. It is unlikely that it will become
important on a commercial scale.
