Unfortunately I don’t have the flower images.

Umbrella like canopy … is that the basis for the name?

This is a very common tree in Guindy National park.
…. You are right. The name is due to the umbrella like canopy.

Acacia planifrons Wight & Arn, introduced tree in the dry hills of Krishnagiri dt, Tamilnadu,
canopy is just like umbrella.

I still remember the bite of the spines. I think that recently the name has changed.  Please confirm.

I am thankful to …, Scientist, CNH, Howrah for providing the current name as follows:
Vachellia planifrons (Wight & Arn.) Ragup., Seigler, Ebinger & Maslin

This is very nice …; very helpful information. Thank you very much.
