If you have one variety of a species that is particularly desirable, e.g. a particular kind of leucaena, it is especially likely that it has a limited genetic pool to call upon in time of need.

The name "leucaena" is the accepted international name for this one species, but it is also the name of the genus that includes at least 9 other species.

C The aristolochia vine grown on the branches of others trees (such as leucaena), to feed caterpillar larvae.

Instead, calliandra should be incorporated into trials with tropical multipurpose species such as leucaena and mangium.

1 Introduction and Summary 1983

This is important because such acid soils are widespread in the tropics and is an attribute that distinguishes mangium from some other leguminous trees such as leucaena, which require a pH above 5.5.

Chapter 4 1983

Operating a pilot plant based on current technology and planting fast-growing species of trees for biomass (such as leucaena or eucalyptus) as potential sources of renewable lignocellulose feedstock will enable organizational and management requirements to be identified in practice.

Many of these stews make creative use of the sparse natural resources at hand, including colorín en pipián, which uses the bright red blossoms of the colorín (erythrina) tree in a typically seed-based Pueblan pipián, and guasmole, which uses the garlicky-tasting seeds found in the pods of the guaje (leucaena) tree.

If you jump into the greenhouse-offset business, what you might plant is leucaena, a rapidly growing tree species suited to the tropics that metabolizes carbon dioxide faster than most trees.
