Leucaena greggii is a type of plant that belongs to the Fabaceae family, also known as the pea or bean family. This plant is special because it is found only in Mexico.
Sadly, Leucaena greggii is currently facing a threat called habitat loss. This means that the natural places where it grows are being destroyed or changed, making it harder for the plant to survive.
The name greggii was given to this plant to honor a man named Josiah Gregg (1806 – 1850). He was an interesting person who worked as a merchant, explored new places, studied nature, and wrote books about the American Southwest and Northern Mexico.
