The seed pods of Acacia nilotica are constricted, I wonder if this only happens when the seeds are mature?

This may be the answer:

Nine sub-species are recognised. Hybridization between the various ssp. occurs and has been influenced by human's seed dispersal. Within the A. nilotica complex the pods are very variable.
