Description
Albizia anthelmintica. It is a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub or tree of about 2 m to 5 m. The bark is pale to dark grey or red-brown, smooth to rough and longitudinally fissured. Small branches often have spine-tips and spine-tipped side-shoots. The leaves are bipinnate, bearing two to four pairs of pinnae, each with two to four pairs of leaflets. The stipules are small, often hardened. There is no terminal pinna or leaflet, but usually a downward-pointing hook at the rachis tip. Leaflet shape is obliquely obovate to nearly circular, sometimes narrowly elliptic and from 10 mm to 35 mm by 4 mm to 25 mm in size. Sowing : The seeds must first be soaked in hot water, left overnight and planted the next morning in seedling trays. Cover the seeds lightly with river sand and keep moist. Placing a clear glass over the seedling tray can speed up germination. Locality: Ex Hort. Harvest: June 2020
