Wikipedia Abstract

"Mimosa speciosa" redirects here. As described by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin this refers to the Lebbeck. The Mimosa speciosa of Carl Peter Thunberg, however, is Albizia julibrissin. colspan=2 style="text-align: center; background-color: transparent; text-align:center; border: 1px solid red;" | Title=Albizia lebbeck;ns=0/Main/;language:wiki=en,locale=en File:Starr 080531-4752 Albizia lebbeck.

Invasive Species

Albizia lebbeck probably originated in tropical Asia and was introduced for forestry or erosion control in many countries. Fast-growing and reaching 18 to 30m in height, it is now naturalised mainly in dry tropical regions and can invade natural and semi-natural environments, as is the case in Mayotte and La Réunion.
