Falcataria moluccana, commonly known as the Moluccan albizia, is a species of fast-growing tree in the legume family, Fabaceae.[3] It is native to Maluku Islands, New Guinea Island, the Bismarck Archipelago (in Papua New Guinea), and the Solomon Islands. It is cultivated for timber throughout South Asian and Southeast Asian countries. This tree is considered to be invasive in Hawaii, American Samoa and several other island nations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.[4][5] It is about 30m tall tree in nature with a massive trunk and an open crown.[4]

- Flowers - creamy white small flowers are faintly fragrant
- Fruits - pods that fall from the trees when mature.
- Bark - smooth, light or white colored bark.
- Wood - light tan with long fibers.
- Wood density = 280 kg / cubic meter (based on weight and volume at 18% moisture content)[6]
- Chromosome number 2n = 26.[7]
The tree has become invasive in forests in Hawaii and on other Pacific islands.[8]
Uses
- Commercial uses - Falcataria moluccana soft wood is used for make match sticks, chopsticks, shipping pallets, and wooden boxes. Pulp is used for paper-making.Cite error: A
