Names
ACACIA Ehrenbergiana Hayne [family LEGUMINOSAE-MIMOSOIDEAE], Arzneigewächse, ix. 29. Schweinf. Acacien-arten d. Nilgebiets, 352, t. 15, 16.
Information
A shrub; extremities smooth, shining, chestnut-brown. Stipular spines usually exceeding the leaves, slender, spreading, straight. Leaves small, puberulous or glabrate; pinnæ 1–2-jugate, leaflets 8–10-jugate, oblong, obtuse, midrib obscure, 1–1 1/2 lines long. Flowers capitate. Peduncles solitary or fascicled in the axils, exceeding the leaf, bearing the involucel near or below the middle. Petals united 2/3 their length, twice as long as the calyx. Legume narrow-linear, falcate, broadly constricted between the seeds, varying to 4 1/2 in. in length.

Notes
I have not certainly identified this plant in the Kew Herbarium. The description is taken from Dr. Schweinfurth's memoir. The Arabian plant of Fischer, No. 73 (not 37 as cited by Mr. Bentham and Dr. Schweinfurth), agrees well with A. Ehrenbergiana as figured. The legume of A. Jacquemontii, Benth., is very different.
