Notes
Acacia trees and shrubs, commonly known as wattles or acacias, formed a large genus in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the pea family Fabaceae. It included plant species native to Africa and Australia. In the early 2000s it was decided to split the genus and the two African lineages were renamed Vachellia and Senegalia. Acacia karroo, commonly known as the sweetthorn or soetdoring, and originally registered at Kew Gardens with the name spelled incorrectly with two 'r's, is now formally Vachellia karroo.
