Archidendron bigeminum is a tree species in the legume family (Fabaceae). It is found in India and Sri Lanka.
The World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) in the 1998 IUCN Redlist reviewed Abarema bigemina and Pithecellobium gracile as Vulnerable species1. These are nowadays both considered junior synonyms of Archidendron bigeminum2. It may be that the Indian population consists of a smaller-growing variety that that on Sri Lanka.
