Note — Varieties are recognized for this species in ILDIS ( Roskov et al. 2005), based on Kumar & Sane (2003: 89), therefore, combinations in Vachellia are provided here. However, it is noted that in the latter publication the authors’ note that the variety is “not maintained in recent literature”, citing Chakrabarty & Gangopadhyay (1996) as their validating reference.
