Acacia nilotica has several subspecies. Would be interesting to know exact subspecies. Surely not subsp. indica, any chance of subsp. hemispherica??

"The pods are the most distinguishing characters in identifying the  ssp . in A.nilotica.    On comparision of the   pods  in the FAO  article , the species is comparable to  A.nilotica ssp. subulata   for me. Please go through the link  http://www.fao.org/docrep/006/Q2934E/Q2934E04.htm 

www.fao.org/docrep/006/Q2934E/Q2934E04.htm
  You may also recheck the characters.   The physical verification  will be the best .  Give a try  to arrive at the ID." from Mahadeswara ji.
