Names
ACACIA Seyal Var. fistula [family LEGUMINOSAE-MIMOSOIDEAE]
ACACIA fistula Schweinf. [family LEGUMINOSAE-MIMOSOIDEAE], in Acacien-arten d. Nilgebiets, 344, t. 11–13.
Information
Branches with a smooth milk-white bark. Leaflets often 1/3 in. long. Legumes as in the type, 1/4– 1/3 in. broad.
Distribution
Nile Land Matamma, Dr. Schweinfurth!
Notes
Dr. Schweinfurth! who also cites it as occurring in Sennaar, and forming woods in Southern Nubia. The stipular spines are very subject to a monstrous dilatation at the base, owing to insect-puncture. I should scarcely have reduced this plant to A. Seyal, were it not that we possess a specimen connecting the forms in the collection of Speke and Grant.
