Lysiloma is a genus in the subfamily of the mimosa plants (Mimosoideae) within the family of the Leguminosae (Fabaceae). The ten or so species are only common in the Neotropic .
description
Appearance and leaves
Lysiloma species grow as shrubs or trees . On the bark are lenticels visible. They usually have no thorns.
The alternate leaves arranged on the branches are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. There are glands on the foliage leaves. The double-pinnate leaf blades contain only one pair or up to 40 pairs of opposing leaflets . If there are many leaflets, they are small; if there are only a few, then they are relatively large. The petiolate sheet of rhachis is usually glabrous, sometimes hairy downy. The stipules halt beard or early deciduous.
Inflorescences and flowers
The spike-like or head-shaped inflorescences stand side by side individually or in groups. The inflorescences contain durable or early falling bracts and many stalked or sessile flowers.
The relatively small, hermaphrodite, white to yellowish flowers are five-fold with a double flower envelope . The five sepals are fused bell-shaped with recognizable five calyx teeth. The five bald or fluffy hairy petals are fused bell-shaped with recognizable five corolla lobes. The filaments of the 10 to 30 stamens have grown together to form a short staminal tube and they do not protrude above the corolla. The anthers are not hairy glandular. There is only one carpel in each flower .
Fruits and seeds
The legumes contain some seeds. The fruit valves of most species separate from the abdominal seams. The permanent connection of the two parallel seam ribs along the entire edge of the legume distinguishes Lysiloma from all other genera of the Ingeae in the New World. In a few species these seam ribs remain on the branch as a whole after the fruit flaps have fallen off, this is called the craspedial fruit opening. There is no aril .
Occurrence
The genus Lysiloma is only common in the Neotropic . The Lysiloma species occur from the southern USA via Nicaragua to Costa Rica and on Caribbean islands. Most species range from Mexico to Costa Rica. The most common species, Lysiloma latisiliquum , also extends to Florida and is also found on Caribbean islands. One species extends as far as southeastern Arizona. One species occurs only in the Greater Antilles .
Lysiloma species thrive in seasonally dry tropical and subtropical woodlands and in desert vegetation at low and submontane altitudes.
Systematics and distribution of the species
The genus Lysiloma was in 1844 by George Bentham in Journal of Botany , Volume 3, pp 82-84. set up. As Lectotypusart 1920 lysiloma bahamense Benth. by Nathaniel Lord Britton and Charles Frederick Millspaugh in Bahama Flora. P. 158 established; it is now a synonym of Lysiloma latisiliquum (L.) Benth. The botanical genus name Lysiloma is derived from the Greek words lysis - for loosening or separation and loma for border or edge. This refers to the fact that the fruit valves of most species separate from the belly seams.
Revisions of the genus Lysiloma were made in George Bentham: Revision of suborder Mimoseae. in Trans. Linn. Soc. London , Volume 30, 1875, pp. 533-536 and in RL Thompson: A Revision of the Genus Lysiloma (Leguminosae). Ph.D. Thesis, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, 1980.
The genus Lysiloma belongs to the tribe Ingeae in the subfamily Mimosoideae within the family Fabaceae .

use
The wood is used by some Lysiloma species (common names: sabicu, t'zalam, abey, feather tree). The wood is used, for example, as construction timber, to make furniture, floors, wagon wheels and musical instruments or as firewood. Lysiloma sabicu wood used to be one of Cuba's main export goods .
Some species are used as shade trees and ornamental plants in avenues and fences. Species are planted as protection against erosion. There have been reports of medical uses.
