32. Vachellia kingii (Prain) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger , comb. nov.

Acacia kingii Prain, J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt. 2, Nat. Hist. 66 (1897) 506. — Type citation: King’s Collector , “ Shan Hills”.

Distribution — Myanmar ( Burma).

Note — Despite no formal taxonomic treatment being presented by Nielsen (1981: 42; 1985b: 157) he clearly accepted Acacia kingii by including it in his key; the provenance was given as Burma. Thus, A. kingii was out of geographic scope for Nielsen’s treatment, but not for his key. This species is also accepted by Kumar & Sane (2003: 87) and Roskov et al. (2005).
