Entry for ACACIA amythethophylla Steud. [family LEGUMINOSAE-MIMOSOIDEAE]
Entry From
Flora of Tropical Africa, Vol 2, page 1, (1871) Author: Papilionaceae by Mr. J. G. Baker; Caesalpinieae and Mimoseae by Prof. Oliver)
Notes
I have only seen flowering specimens. Mr. Bentham reduces this plant to A. xiphocarpa, Hochst. (Lond. Journ. Bot. 1846, 96), but Dr. Schweinfurth, who describes the fruit, keeps it apart. I should probably have followed Mr. Bentham were it not on account of the racemose leafless inflorescence of A. amythethophylla .
