		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.
		Acacia blossoms are not pea-like, and for this reason the genus is placed in the subfamily Mimosoideae, along with silk tree (Albizia), fairy duster (Calliandra) and mesquite (Prosopis).
		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.
