	Acacia
		Acacia is a genus of shrubs and trees of Gondwanian origin belonging to the family Leguminosae and the sub-family Mimosoideae, first described from African examples by Linnaeus 1n 1773.
		Some species afford valuable timber; such are Acacia melanoxylon, fl wood of Australia, which attains a great size; its wood is used for furniture, and takes a high polish; and Acacia homalophylla (also Australian), myall wood, which yields a fragrant timber, used for ornamental purposes.
		Acacia seyal is supposed to be the shittah tree of the Bible, which supplied shittim-wood.

		In the Central American Acacia sphaerocephala (Bullthorn Acacia) and Acacia spadicigera, the large thorn-like stipules are hollow and afford shelter for ants, which feed on a secretion of honey on the leaf-stalk and curious food-bodies at the tips of the leaflets; in return they protect the plant against leaf-eating insects.

	HON Allergy Glossary, Mimosaceae Pollens
		The Acacia genus is typically found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, especially Austalia and the Pacific (where up to 600 species are native) as well as Africa (where they are found on the southern and eastern plains).
		Acacias are characterised by their small, finely divided leaflets, which give the leafstalk a feathery or fernlike (i.e., pinnate) appearance.
		Acacia flowers are typically small, yellow and fragrant with many stamens, giving the flower a 'fuzzy' appearance.

	Acacias
		Acacias are commonly cultivated throughout temperate, tropical and desert regions, and include numerous distinctive growth forms with a profusion of yellow or white flower clusters.
		The acacias reward their ant helpmates with thorn "condos" to live in, carbohydrate-rich nectar from glands on the leaf stalks, and nourishing, protein-lipid Beltian bodies on the leaflet tips.
		In the case of the whistling thorn acacia, a mouthful of stinging ants is an excellent deterrent to hungry herbivores.

		Acacia do not require heavy amounts of fertilizer and in some cases can be harmed by the addition of fertilizers high in phosphorus.
		Acacias also will often flower within their second year so by the time a tree or shrub is planted it is usually of flowering age.

	Acacia melanoxylon
		Generally speaking, flwood acacia dispenses with leaves, clothing itself with matte gray-green phyllodes 3 to 6 inches long with pronounced parallel venation, but seedlings and young sprouts from the trunk often exhibit feathery leaves emerging from the phyllodes in a very surprising way.
		At Stanford, where flwood acacia volunteers regularly, valuable wood for turning and hobby use is occasionally available from trees that have sprung up where they were not wanted.

		The toxicity of the extracts was estimated by measuring the effects on the germination and growth of Lactuca sativa var.
		The proportions of fruit pods with multiple paternity detected in the 2 populations were 0.08 and 0.15, while the proportions of full sib pairs within pods estimated by the sibling pair method were 1 and 0.63.

		They are not as attractive as many Acacias, being pale cream in colour and rather scattered among the dense foliage of the tree.
		The pods are long and tend to be curled and twisted and when the pods open, the flish seeds are seen to be surrounded by a bright red aril (the expanded seed stalk).
		This is one of the few acacias which is long lived and will form a shade tree (many acacias are quite short lived and will drop dead after 8 years or so).

	CSIRO Entomology - Thysanoptera [Thrips]
		More than 25 of the species are known to induce galls on phyllodes of particular Acacia species.
		A larger number of species create their own domiciles by fixing two or more pairs of phyllodes together, or even by weaving a tent-like structure using a secretion from the anus, although about half of the Phlaeothripinae found on Acacia are opportunists and invade and breed in spaces created and abandoned by other insects.
		The collaborative research programme on these Acacia thrips was developed by Bernie Crespi of Simon Fraser University, Canada, together with Mike Schwarz of Flinders University, Adelaide, and Laurence Mound at CSIRO Entomology, Canberra, and has given rise to more than 40 publications on their taxonomy, evolution, behaviour and host-plant relationships.
