Archidendron bigeminum is a tree species in the legume family (Fabaceae). It is found in India and Sri Lanka. It is known as "Kalitiya - කලටිය" in Sinhala people.
The World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) in the 1998 IUCN Redlist reviewed Abarema bigemina and Pithecellobium gracile as Vulnerable species.[1] These are nowadays both considered junior synonyms of Archidendron bigeminum.[2] It may be that the Indian population consists of a smaller-growing variety than that on Sri Lanka.
