This species is apparently confined to the beach forests, at least in the 
Philippines, and is rather widely distributed, extending from the Nicobar Islands 
and Penang to Java, Amboina, Celebes, and the Caroline Islands (Yap, Vollcens 
525, distributed as Albizzia retusa Benth.). The type of Albizzia retusa was 
from the Philippines, Cuming 1223, supplemented by Cuming 1593; the former 
has leaflets somewhat smaller than those of typical A. littoralis, but the latter 
has them intermediate in size, while among the numerous specimens cited above 
all intergradations can be found. The refuse apices of the leaflets is by no 
means a constant character. The original description of Albizzia littoralis 
calls for flowers sessile or minutely pedicelled, but Koorders and Yaleton, who 
had before them authentic material collected by Teysmann in Amboina, state 
that the pedicels are 3 to 4 mm long, which agrees with our Philippine material. 
The gland characters given by Prain to distinguish this species from Albizzia 
procera will not hold, as glands are found on both the primary and secondary
