As per the following links, subspecies tomentosa does not exist in India. Is it true ?

Thanks very much Gurcharan ji for bringing this post up for validation.

I too am keen to know whether I am mistaking the subspecies that I have labeled for an unarmed tree seen at Vaghbil, Thane.

The last photograph taken on Jan 25, 2009, at Zirad near Alibag, Maharashtra does not show aspects other than a cluster of dried-up pods - it might be at best taken just as Acacia nilotica.

Regards.

Dinesh.
