Albizia lebbeck is a species of Albizia, native to Indomalaya, New Guinea and Northern Australia and widely cultivated and naturalised in other tropical and subtropical regions.

English names for it include Sirisa, Siris, lebbeck, lebbek tree, flea tree, frywood, koko and woman’s tongue tree.

The latter name is a play on the sound the seeds make as they rattle inside the pods.

Being one of the most widespread and common species of Albizia worldwide, it is often simply called siris or Sirisa though this name may refer to any locally common member of the genus.


It is a tree growing to a height of 18–30 m tall with a trunk 50 cm to 1 m in diameter. The leaves are bipinnate, 7.5–15 cm long, with one to four pairs of pinnae, each pinna with 6–18 leaflets.

The flowers are white, with numerous 2.5–3.8 cm long stamens, and very fragrant. The fruit is a pod 15–30 cm long and 2.5-5.0 cm broad, containing six to twelve seeds.


Its uses include environmental management, forage, medicine and wood. It is cultivated as a shade tree in North and South America.In India and Pakistan, the tree is used to produce timber.

Wood from Albizia lebbeck has a density of 0.55-0.66 g/cm3 or higher.

Even where it is not native, some indigenous herbivores are liable to utilize lebbeck as a food resource.

For example, the greater rhea (Rhea americana) has been observed feeding on it in the cerrado of Brazil.
