Some 1100 species, mostly tropical and subtropical, the majority in Australia, some 130 in Africa.
Trees or shrubs, sometimes climbing; the native species almost always armed with prickles or stipular spines, the introduced ones usually unarmed. Leaves bipinnate or, in introduced species, modified to phyllodes; gland usually present on upper side of petiole, glands often also present at insertion of pinnae. Flowers in spikes, spike-like racemes or heads, bisexual or polygamous, sometimes enclosed in bud by a ring of bracts, the involucel, the remnants of which remain on the peduncle. Calyx usually 4–5-lobed, or subtruncate. Corolla 4–5(–7)-lobed. Stamens many; filamentsfree, or (in A. albida) connate at the base; anthers glandular at apex, or (in A. albida and A. saligna) eglandular. Pods very variable, dehiscent or sometimes indehiscent, flat to ± thickened, straight, curved, spiral or contorted.
