Confusing pods of Cathormion s.l. A pods of Osodendron altissimum that are very similar to B pods of the Australian species Albizia moniliformis (DC.) F. Muell. (syn. Cathormion umbellatum subsp. moniliforme (DC.) Brummit) C pods of Osodendron dinklagei and D pods of Osodendron leptophyllum that were likened to those of E Samanea (S. saman (Jacq.) Merr. is pictured here) and/or Cathormion F pods of Hydrochorea obliquifoliolata (De Wild.) E.J.M. Koenen (syn. Cathormion obliquifoliolatum) that are superficially similar to those of O. leptophyllum in particular; hence, this species having also been classified in a broadly circumscribed Cathormion in the past, but note that the pods become disarticulated while still on the tree rather than tardily as in Osodendron and Albizia moniliformis G and H pods of the closest relative of Osodendron, the Neotropical genus Robrichia (R. schomburgkii is pictured here).
