Abstract
Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. is a multipurpose fastly growing woody flowering plant species which helps in maintaining the quality of environment. A. lebbeck is perennial tree, widely grown in Tropical Asia, Tropical Africa, North Australia and in Pakistan as ornamental tree and street tree for shade. The leaves, fruits, flowers, bark, stems, seeds and whole parts of A. lebbeck have traditionally been used to cure asthma, malaria, cancer, dysentery, jaundice, rheumatism, diabetes, and many skin disease problems in human beings. The phytochemical studies have shown the presence of protein, carbohydrates, minerals, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. The seed germination and seedling growth abilities of a tropical plant species, A. lebbeck respond differently to the immediate environmental conditions. A. lebbeck also plays a helping role in balancing the ecosystem due to its better adaptation potential to climatic conditions. However, scarcity of water, increase in temperature, indiscriminate discharge of toxic pollutants, deforestation, global warming, automobile emission, and anthropogenic activities are the main reasons for decline of this plant for last couple of decades. The objective of this review is to search and analyze the scattered research articles available on the ecological and economic properties of A. lebbeck. In this regard, the published research articles was searched from different electronic search engines, such as, Google Scholar, NIH (National Library of Medicine), Conbio (Society for Conservation of Biology), PubMed and ScienceDirect covering the period 1986–2024. The findings would be helpful for conservation groups, plant ecologists, governmental and nongovernmental environmental protection organizations, researchers, land managers, environmental managers, horticultural, floriculture managers, industrial sectors, and pharmaceutical sectors that are working at regional and international levels for A. lebbeck.
