Botanical Description
Albizia duckeana is a tree growing 30 - 45 metres tall. The tree is sometimes harvested from the wild as a source of tannins. The species is restricted to very small areas of primary forest; the extent of occurrence is disjunct and severely fragmented; as the area of occupancy is not more than 2,000 square kilometres, and not more than 10 localities are known for this taxon, a vulnerable conservation status is here proposed[ 731 Title A taxonomic study of Albizia (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae: Ingeae) in Mexico and Central America Publication Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid.
