Acacia, Senegalia & Vachellia : 1 post by 1 author.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Acacia, Senegalia Vachellia  

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome.



Pl. go through Senegalia (‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Fabaceae (Leguminosae)‎) page with images of species in efloraofindia.

If you find any incorrect identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice.


This is quite impressive page.  However, I would like to point out that Senegalia polyacantha (Type: http://herbarium.bgbm.org/object/BW19166010) is a synonym of S. catechu. Some State and District Floras recognized them as distinct species and provided keys highlighting the distinguishing characters.  These differences however do not hold good.  These Floras obviously had limited opportunities as they had examined a limited number of herbarium specimens within the boundaries of their study area and not exhibiting the range of variation of Senegalia catechu. 
I am also not happy with the distinctions of S. torta with S. caesia although ... informed me in Dec. 2016 that they have somehow found some ways to differentiate the two but did not elaborate any further. In any case the recent publications are applying very narrow concept for differentiating species in Senegalia as well as Vachellia.  Let us wait and see what they publish next!
