Albizia lebbeck, commonly known as the Siris Tree, Woman’s Tongue Tree, or Indian Siris, is a fast-growing, deciduous tree prized for its wide-spreading canopy, fragrant flowers, and multiple ecological benefits. Native to tropical and subtropical Asia and parts of Australia, it is widely cultivated for shade, timber, fodder, and soil enrichment.

This leguminous tree is often planted in avenues, parks, and agroforestry systems due to its ability to fix nitrogen, tolerate drought, and provide dense shade.
