Abstract: The paper develops a rather unexpected parallel to the multivariate Matsumoto--Yor (MY) property on trees considered in cite{MW04}. The parallel concerns a multivariate version of the Kummer distribution, which is generated by a tree. Given a tree of size $p$, we direct it by choosing a vertex, say $r$, as a root. With such a directed tree we associate a map $Ph{i}_r$. For a random vector $$ having a $p$-variate tree-Kummer distribution and any root $r$, we prove that $$ has independent components. Moreover, we show that if $$ is a random vector in $(0,infty{)}^p$ and for any leaf $r$ of the tree the components of $$ are independent, then one of these components has a Gamma distribution and the remaining $p-1$ components have Kummer distributions. Our point of departure is a relatively simple independence property due to cite{HV15}. It states that if $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables having Kummer and Gamma distributions (with suitably related parameters) and $T:(0,infty{)}^{2}o(0,infty{)}^2$ is the involution defined by $T(x,y)=(y/(1+x),x+xy/(1+x))$, then the random vector $T(X,Y)$ has also independent components with Kummer and gamma distributions. By a method inspired by a proof of a similar result for the MY property, we show that this independence property characterizes the gamma and Kummer laws.
