Abstract
A new species of Albizia, A. mainaea, is described from western Madagascar and com- pared with previously known species. R. Capuron (1970) indicated the presence of Al- bizia gummifera (J. F. Gmelin) C. A. Smith from all phytogeographic domains of Madagascar. Upon ex- amination of gatherings of this species complex from Madagascar, three species were encountered: Albizia adianthifolia (Schumacher) W. Wight from moist forests, Albizia gummifera from montane and submontane forests, and a new species from prin- cipally tropophyllous forests, which is here de- scribed and compared with species previously known in the Albizia gummifera complex sensu Brenan (1952).
