RAIN TREE [rain tree] also called monkeypod, a large leguminous tropical
tree ( Albizia saman or Samanea saman ) of tropical America belonging to the
family Leguminosae ( pulse family), the leaves of which fold together in
cloudy weather and in darkness. Rain trees may attain heights of 80 ft (24
m) with a branch spread of up to 100 ft (30 m). These flat-topped trees are
widely cultivated throughout the tropics as shade trees for such crops as
coffee and cacao. Their edible pods are used chiefly for stock feed. The
durable wood has a deep, rich color and is used for furniture. Other species
of the genus are grown in warm climates for timber or food and sometimes as
a source of gums and tannin. Rain trees are classified in the division
Magnoliophyta , class Magnoliopsida, order Rosales, family Leguminosae.
