Saman is a wide-canopied tree with a large symmetrical crown. It usually reaches a height of 25 meters and a diameter of 40 meters[1]. Several lineages of this tree are available e. g. with reddish pink and creamish golden colored flowers.

During his 1799-1804 travels in the Americas, Alexander von Humboldt encountered a giant Saman tree near Maracay (Venezuela). (September 14 1769 &ndash May 6 1859 was a German naturalist and explorer, and the younger brother of the Prussian minister philosopher and linguist Maracay is a city in central Venezuela and is the capital and most important city of the Aragua State. He measured the circumference of the parasol-shaped crown at 576 ft (about 180.

Humboldt mentioned that the tree was reported to have changed little since the Spanish colonization of Venezuela; he estimated the Saman to be as old as the famous Canary Islands Dragon Tree (Dracaena draco) of Icod de los Vinos on Tenerife. This is the History of Venezuela. See also the History of South America and the History of present-day nations and states.

The tree, called Samán del Guère (transcribed Zamang del Guayre by von Humboldt) still stands today and is a Venezuelan national treasure. Just like the dragon tree on Tenerife, the age of the Saman in Venezuela is rather indeterminate. As von Humboldt's report makes clear, according to local tradition it would be older than 500 years today, which is rather outstanding by the genus' standards. It is certain however than the tree is quite more than 200 years old today. But it is one exceptional individual; even the well-learned von Humboldt could not believe it was actually the same species as the Saman trees he knew from the greenhouses at Schönbrunn Castle[4]. A greenhouse (also called a glasshouse or hothouse) is a building where plants are cultivated Schönbrunn Palace (Schloss Schönbrunn) in Vienna is one of the most important cultural monuments in Austria and since the 1860s has also been one of the major

Names

Albizia saman is a well-known tree, rivalled perhaps only by Lebbeck and Pink Siris among its genus. "Mimosa speciosa" redirects here As described by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin this refers to the Lebbeck This page is about the tree described by Antonio Durazzini. John Gilbert Baker used the same scientific name to refer to Prain's Albizia kalkora A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic It is well-attested in many languages and has a bunch of local names in its native range. Most names that originated in Europe (where the tree hardly grows anywhere) are some variety of "Rain Tree". The original name, Saman - known in many languages and used for the specific name - derives from zamang, meaning "Mimosoideae tree" in some Cariban language of northern Venezuela[4]. In zoological nomenclature a specific name or specific epithet is the second part (second name in the name of a Species (a Binomen) As noted below in some classifications (eg the Cronquist system) "Mimosoideae" refers to what here is considered the tribe Mimoseae. The Cariban languages are an indigenous Language family of South America.

The name Rain Tree was coined in in tropical India, especially Bengal. Its origin is the moisture that collects on the ground under the tree, largely the honeydew-like discharge of cicadas feeding on the leaves. A cicada is an Insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the
