This is a liana, in a farm, entangling trees in a vicious thorny hold. Picture of flowers not available. Pods are very thin and flat. There is confusion as to whether it is Senegalia caesia (L.) Maslin et al., Blumea 58:40. 2013 (syn: (≡) Acacia caesia (L.) Willd as in efloraofindia or Senegalia intsia (L.) Maslin syn. Acasia caesia. Or both the names are one and the same. If so what is the correct citation. Please clarify. Yes, there seems to be some confusion. But both seem to be different as per From the earlier books both appear to be same as per books: Acacia intsia or Senegalia intsiais a nomen confusum. Dr. Bruce Maslin, in a personal communication finally also agreed to my arguments. I take this plant as Senegalia caesia.
The given photo named Acacia angustissima is actually, Senegalia caesia. Acacia angustissima is a synonym of Acaciella angustissima, which is native to America. The leaflets of A. angustissima are much smaller and more in number compared to S. caesia.
