Acacia

Plants in the genus Acacia are shrubs or trees with bipinnate leaves, the mature leaves sometimes reduced to phyllodes or rarely absent. There are 2 small stipules at the base of the leaf, but sometimes fall off as the leaf matures. The flowers are borne in spikes or cylindrical heads, sometimes singly, in pairs or in racemes in the axils of leaves or phyllodes, sometimes in panicles on the ends of branches. Each spike or cylindrical head has many small golden-yellow to pale creamy-white flowers, each with 4 or 5 sepals and petals, more than 10 stamens, and a thread-like style that is longer than the stamens. The fruit is a variably-shaped pod, sometimes flat or cylindrical, containing seeds with a fleshy aril on the end.{{cite web |last1=Kodela |first1=Phillip G. |last2=Harden |first2=Gwen J. |title=Genus Acacia |publisher=Royal Botanic Garden |place=Sydney, NSW, AU |url=https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&showsyn=&dist=&constat=&lvl=gn&name=Acacia |access-date=9 December 2023}}{{cite web |last1=Entwisle |first1=Timothy J. |last2=Maslin |first2=Bruce R. |last3=Cowan |first3=Richard S. |last4=Court |first4=Arthur B. |last5=Walsh |first5=Neville G. |title=Acacia |publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria |place=Melbourne, VIC, AU |url=https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/dfe52d12-cc3f-4620-8a9b-ab8361322615 |access-date=9 December 2023}}{{cite web |title=Acacia |publisher=State Herbarium of South Australia |place= Adelaide, SA, AU |url=http://www.flora.sa.gov.au/cgi-bin/speciesfacts_display.cgi?form=speciesfacts&name=Acacia |access-date=9 December 2023 }}{{cite web |last1=Kodela |first1=Phillip G. |last2=Maslin |first2=Bruce R. |date=n.d. |title=Acacia |series=Flora of Australia |department=Australian Biological Resources Study |publisher=Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water |place=Canberra, AU |editor-last1=Kodela |editor-first1=Philip G. |url=https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Acacia |access-date=9 December 2023}}{{cite journal |last1=Murphy |first1=Daniel J. |title=A review of the classification of Acacia (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae) |journal=Muelleria |date=2008 |volume=26 |issue=1 |pages=10–26 |doi=10.5962/p.292490 |url=https://rbgv-storage-prod.azureedge.net/media/flrfutb2/muelleria_26-1-_p10-26-_murphy-_review_classification_acacia.pdf |access-date=20 July 2024 }}{{cite book |last1=Orchard |first1=Anthony E. |last2=Wilson |first2=Annette J.G. |year=2001 |title=Flora of Australia |volume=11A, Mimosaceae, Acacia |publisher=CSIRO |place=Melbourne, VIC, AU |isbn=9780643067172 |at=part 1, {{nobr|page {{mvar|x}}}} |language=en }}

The genus was first validly named in 1754 by Philip Miller in The Gardeners Dictionary.{{cite book |last=Miller |first=P. |author-link=Philip Miller |year=1754 |title=The Gardeners Dictionary |edition=abridged, 4th |volume=1 |page=[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44045001 25] |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44045001 }} — only gives the name of the genus. Miller did not validly publish names of species in this book, as he did not consistently use binomial names. In 1913 Nathaniel Lord Britton and Addison Brown selected Mimosa scorpioides {{au|L.}} (≡ Acacia scorpioides ({{au|L.}}) {{au|W.Wight}} = Acacia nilotica ({{au|L.}}) {{au|Delille}}), a species from Africa, as the lectotype of the name.

The genus name comes from Neo-Latin; Gaspard Bauhin in his book Pinax (1623) writes it coming from Dioscorides; the Koine term {{lang|grc|ἀκακία}} akakía is the name he uses for Vachellia nilotica, the original type species growing in Roman Egypt,{{cite book |last=Bauhin |first=Caspar |author-link=Gaspard Bauhin |date=1623 |title=Pinax theatri botanici Caspari Bauhini |location=Basileae Helvet |page=391 |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/14431}} from {{lang|grc|ἀκακίς}} akakis meaning "point".{{cite book |last1=Sharr |first1=Francis Aubi |last2=George |first2=Alex |year=2019 |title=Western Australian Plant Names and Their Meanings |edition=3rd |publisher=Four Gables Press |location=Kardinya, WA |isbn=9780958034180 |page=56 }}

The origin of "wattle" may be an proto-Germanic word meaning "to weave".{{cite book |last1=Austin |first1=Daniel F. |year=2004 |title=Florida Ethnobotany |publisher=CRC Press |location=Boca Raton, FL |isbn=9780203491881 |page=58 }} First attested about 700, {{langx|ang|watul}} referred to the flexible woody vines, branches, and sticks which were interwoven to form walls, roofs, and fences. Since about 1810, it has been used as the common name for the Australian legume trees and shrubs such as Acacia species proper, Castanospermum australe, and Sesbania species that can provide these branches.

The genus Acacia was considered to contain some {{nobr|{{gaps|1|352}} species}} leading to 1986. That year, Leslie Pedley questioned the monophyletic nature of the genus, and proposed a split into three genera: Acacia sensu stricto (161 species), Senegalia (231 species) and Racosperma (960 species), the last name first proposed in 1829 by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius as the name of a section in Acacia,{{cite book |last=von Martius |first=Carl Friedrich P. |title=Hortus regius Monacensis |year=1829 |url=https://archive.org/details/hortusregiusmon00martgoog/page/n204/mode/2up| page=188|publisher=In Commission bei F .

In the early 2000s, it had become evident that the genus was not monophyletic and that several divergent lineages needed to be placed in separate genera. One lineage comprising over 900 species mainly native to Wallacea, Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia was not closely related to the much smaller African lineage group containing the type species. This meant that the Australasian lineage, by far the most prolific in number of species, would need to be renamed. This caused controversy between South African and Australian botanists, who both claimed Acacia as a symbol of their respective nations and wished to retain the name for their respective branch.{{Cite book |last=Robin |first=Libby |title=Symbols of Australia: imagining a nation |date=2021 |publisher=NewSouth Publishing |isbn=978-1-74223-712-1 |editor-last=Harper |editor-first=Melissa |location=Sydney, NSW |page=192 |chapter=Wattle |editor-last2=White |editor-first2=Richard}}

Pedley's proposed name of Racosperma for this group had received little acclaim in the botanical community, especially by Australians. Australian botanists proposed a different solution, setting a different type species for Acacia, Acacia penninervis, allowing the largest number of species to remain in Acacia, resulting in the two pan-tropical lineages being renamed Vachellia and Senegalia, and the two endemic American lineages renamed Acaciella and Mariosousa.{{cite journal |last1=Kyalangalilwa |first1=B. |last2=Boatwright |first2=J.S. |last3=Daru |first3=B.H. |last4=Maurin |first4=O. |last5=van der Bank |first5=M. |year=2013 |title=Phylogenetic position and revised classification of Acacia s.l.

In 2003, Anthony Orchard and Bruce Maslin filed a proposal to conserve the name Acacia with a different type, to retain the Australasian group of species in the genus Acacia. Following a controversial decision to choose a new type for Acacia in 2005, the Australian component of Acacia sensu lato now retains the name Acacia.{{cite journal |last1=Thiele |first1=Kevin R. |date=February 2011 |title=The controversy over the retypification of Acacia {{small|(Mill.)}} with an Australian type: A pragmatic view |journal=Taxon |volume=60 |issue=1 |pages=194–198 |url=http://www.iapt-taxon.org/historic/Congress/IBC_2011/Acacia_pragm.pdf |access-date=15 November 2015|doi=10.1002/tax.601017 }}{{cite journal |last1=Brummitt |first1=R.K. |date=December 2010 |title=(292) Acacia: A solution that should be acceptable to everybody |journal=Taxon |volume=59 |issue=6 |pages=1925–1926 |doi=10.1002/tax.596050 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2010Taxon..59.1925B |url=http://www.iapt-taxon.org/historic/Congress/IBC_2011/Prop291-292.pdf |access-date=19 November 2015 }} At the 2011 International Botanical Congress held in Melbourne, Australia, the decision to use the name Acacia, rather than the proposed Racosperma for this genus, was upheld.{{cite report |title=The Acacia debate |publisher=IBC2011 Congress News |url=http://worldwidewattle.com/infogallery/nomenclature/nameissue/melbourne-ibc-2011-congress-news-tuesday-26-july.pdf |access-date=5 May 2016 }}{{cite journal |last1=Smith |first1=Gideon F. |last2=Figueiredo |first2=Estrela |name-list-style=amp |year=2011 |title=Conserving Acacia {{small|(Mill.)}} with a conserved type: What happened in Melbourne? |journal=Taxon |volume=60 |issue=5 |pages=1504–1506 |doi=10.1002/tax.605033 |hdl=2263/17733 |hdl-access=free }} Other Acacia s.l. taxa continue to be called Acacia by those considering the entire group as one genus.

They are present in all terrestrial habitats, including alpine settings, rainforests, woodlands, grasslands, coastal dunes and deserts. In drier woodlands or forests they are an important component of the understory. Elsewhere they may be dominant, as in the Brigalow Belt, Myall woodlands and the eremaean Mulga woodlands.

Aboriginal Australians have traditionally harvested the seeds of some species, to be ground into flour and eaten as a paste or baked into a cake. Wattleseeds contain as much as 25% more protein than common cereals, and they store well for long periods due to the hard seed coats.{{cite web |last1=Tan |first1=Ria |title=Acacia auriculiformis, black wattle |website=Naturia |url=http://www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/plants/acacia.htm |url-status=dead |access-date=17 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505110838/http://www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/plants/acacia.htm |archive-date=5 May 2015 }} In addition to consuming the edible seed and gum, Aboriginal people also employed the timber for implements, weapons, fuel and musical instruments. A number of species, most notably Acacia mangium (hickory wattle), A. mearnsii (black wattle) and A. saligna (coojong), are economically important and are widely planted globally for wood products, tannin, firewood and fodder. A. melanoxylon (blackwood) and A. aneura (mulga) supply some of the most attractive timbers in the genus. Black wattle bark supported the tanning industries of several countries, and may supply tannins for production of waterproof adhesives.
