Acacia mangium-DKB1-2011: Name of species- Acacia mangium
Common Name- Black Wattle Family- Fabaceae Photo taken on- 4.10.2008 At- Jhalana Eco-tourism park,jaipur Description Flowring It is a tall tree growing upto 30 meters used as timber. As it is fast-growing, it is liked by foresters for plantation and for reducing the load on natural forest growth for timber use. It produces 1.40 lakh seeds per per kg. Its pod can be eaten. Because it is a hardy plant producing vast quantity of seed , it is considered weed at many places. I am told that Tamilnadu govt. earlier encouraged its plantation but soon reversed the policy.

Thanks for showing another phyllode bearing species. do you mean the entire green"leaf like structure" is a phyllode?? instead of the usual acacia that bears innate leaves?? I am not sure if my book learning is correct? ... thank you ... i have never seen yellow attachment cord for the seeds Yes ... what looks like a leaf is its petiole modified to take up the function and form of leaf. The main leaf is rudimentary at the tip, if rarely visible in young leaf falls off very early. In Parkinsonia the rachis is flattened, the leaflets which are very small usually fall off in dry environment and rachis functions as leaf (phyllode).

Regarding your query on meaning, I found the following info in this link: http://www.worldagroforestrycentre.org/sea/products/afdbases/af/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=69 "The generic name Acacia comes from the Greek word ‘akis’, meaning a point or a barb. This acacia was originally described as Mangium montanum Rumph. in Herbarium Amboinense (1750) but changed to an Acacia in 1806. The specific name is an allusion that this tree resembled 'mangge' (mangroves in Indonesia)."

TSPNOV2015-30: Images of Acacia mangium (Fabaceae) : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (6) It is my pleasure to share few images of Acacia mangium (Fabaceae) Habit: Medium tree Habitat: Cultivated. Sighting: Chikmagalur, Karnataka about 1000 msl. Date: 24-07-2014, 13-09-2014 and 12-01-2015 I would like to know whether this is still under full cultivation or gradually spreading in the wild and getting naturalized.
This species is not as popular as its cousin A. auriculiformis among the farmers. I have not observed it being cultivated on a substantial scale, It is true that there was a hype around this a decade back, wherein in it was believed that it produces more biomass per unit area compared to A. auriculiformis. In my opinion it has lost ground. I have not observed it growing in the wild unlike A. auriculiformis that has escaped...! Thank you ..., I have seen a specimen from Delhi from a tree under cultivation there. There was no other record known to me. It is a native of Moluccas. It can be used for land rehabilitation and fuel wood production. An analysis of the seeds is desirable as they are usually highly nutritious (as reported for some other species) and fit for human consumption. Interesting tree, then. wonder why did the interest wane? is it an environmental ecological problem. some acacias need // misuse water? or like the Prosopis juliflora or Acacia juliflora misuse the scant water resources of a land? The planters of South India introduced many acacias primarily for providing shade and think of the capability of them in nitrogen fixation. Moreover, the acacias flourish well in arid situations such as Rajasthan where they welcome them. The photographs of the fruits attached herewith are of Acacia colei and not of A. mangium. It may kindly be noted that the images are a mixture of Acacia mangium and A colei. Further, Acacia colei is hitherto unrecorded for Karnataka. so which picture is which species. can you please enumerate for me Thanks for pointing out. The image of fruits that you referred to as that of A.colei has been omitted while inserting the images in the relevant species page. References: |
