Vachellia nilotica
''Vachellia nilotica'' (widely known by the taxonomic synonym ''Acacia nilotica'', or the common names gum arabic tree,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Integrated Taxonomic Information System )〕 ببول / کیکر ،Babul/Kikar, Egyptian thorn, Sant tree, Al-sant or prickly acacia;〔(Babul dictionary_infoplease )〕〔(Babul_Mirriam Webster )〕〔(AgroForestryTree Database_World AgroForestry Centre )〕 called thorn mimosa or prickly acacia in Australia; lekkerruikpeul or scented thorn in South Africa; karuvela maram in South India) is a species of ''Vachellia'' native to Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. It is also currently an invasive species of significant concern in Australia.
==Taxonomy==
This tree was originally the type species of the genus ''Acacia'', which derives its name from ακακία (''akakia''), the name given by early Greek botanist-physician Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40–90) to this tree as a medicinal, in his book ''Materia Medica''.
The renaming of the genus to ''Vachellia'' remains controversial.
The genus name ''Acacia'' derives from the Greek word for its characteristic thorns, ακις (''akis,'' thorn). The species name ''nilotica'' was given by Linnaeus from this tree's best-known range along the Nile river. The plant ''V. nilotica'' then, in turn, became the type species for the Linnaean ''Acacia'' genus (not all of which have thorns, even though they are named for them). For the ongoing reclassification of this and other species historically classified under genus ''Acacia'', see the ''Acacia''.
