The Albizia genus is made up of about 150 species of subtropical and tropical
trees and shrubs with a short lifespan. Albizia leaves are pinnately or
bipinnately compound and their small flowers are in bundles, with showy stamens
much longer than the petals. This genus is found in Asia, Africa, Madagascar,
Central, South, and southern North America and Australia, but mostly in the Old
World tropics.
Albizia are commonly known as silk trees or sirises. Another name commonly
used is albizzias. The name albizias is used in species that are not widely
known under a common name. Some species are given the name "mimosa" which
correctly belongs to species in the related genus Mimosa. Unlike the species of
Mimosa, Albizia flowers have much more than 10 stamens.
One of the most well known of the Albizia genus is the Persian Silk Tree or
Pink Siris , and in North America it is commonly grown as an ornamental tree,
but has become naturalized in several US States, and is regarded as an invasive
species.
