Albizia adianthifolia Seeds
Albizia adianthifolia or Flat-crown Albizia as it is commonly known is a most adored ornamental species. It is unbelievable how many uses this tree has! Food: The local people in southern Africa make a sauce from the seeds. Timber: The wood is clean, light, soft, straight-grained, used largely for naves in South Africa and suitable for many other general purposes. The wood works well with a good finish. The colour is golden yellow, sometimes with greenish tinge, making attractive-coloured parquet floors. Gum or resin: A. adianthifolia produces a sweet smelling gum of somehow inferior quality.
Medicine: The bark is poisonous but is used medicinally by the Zulu of South Africa who make a love charm emetic from it. They also prepare an infusion (hot or cold) from the bark and roots to treat skin diseases like scabies. A cold extract from the roots alone is applied to the inflamed eye. In Mozambique, the bark is a remedy for bronchitis.
