(based on Albizia melanesica Fosb.), in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands. S. dilmyi Fosb. reaches from Sumatra and the Philippines to western New Guinea and the Admiralty Islands. S. robinsonii Fosb, is restricted to the southern Moluccas. S. hooglandii (Fosb.) Kanis, stat. nov., occurs in eastern New Guinea, with ssp. floridensis Kanis, ssp. nov.. in the Solomon Islands. S. kanehirae Fosb. is excluded, being restricted to the western Caroline Islands.
