Cow tamarind, french tamarind, monkey pod, rain tree, arbre de pluie, saman
Samanea saman (Jacq.) F. Muell., Calliandra saman (Jacq.) Griseb., Enterolobium saman (Jacq.) Prain, Feuilleea saman (Jacq.) Kuntze, Inga saman (Jacq.) Willd., Zygia saman (Jacq.) Lyons
Lofty canopied tree with a large symmetrical crown. An advantageous shade tree as the fernlike leaflets close up at night, permitting rain to fall through to the grass beneath.
Rich in tannins.
The long black pods and the leaves relished for fodder.Withstands lopping and can be maintained at any desired height by judicious pruning. The foliage esteemed as livestock fodder.
Avg: average or predicted value; SD: standard deviation; Min: minimum value; Max: maximum value; Nb: number of values (samples) used
