Fabaceae-Mimosoideae (Mimosaceae) Week: Acacia for ID from Nahan

[Nidhan Singh]

Dear All,

This tree was shot in Nahan (Distt. Sirmour, H.P.) in April 2011, near
DC residence. This was a growing tree, not yet attaining the height
which I suppose it can, no fruits could be seen. I hope to find the
Id.

This may be Acacia caesia.

I think the synonymy part in FOI needs a revisit.

Hi, Nidhan ji,

As per  Flora Of Davanagere District: Karnataka, India By B. K. Manjunatha, V. Krishna, T. Pullaiah (keys & Description) , Acacia caesia auct. non. Willd. is a syn. of Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib.

 

As per Flora of Ranga Reddi District Andhra Pradesh, India By Thamminen Pullaiah, M. Silar Mohammed, difference is very minor as given in brackets- Acacia caesia (L.) Willd. (branchlets glabrous) &  Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib. (branchlets rusty pubescent).
In view your plant should be Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib. (Acacia caesia auct. non. Willd.).

[Nidhan Singh]

Thanks Garg Ji for elaborating...
