Janet then what is this?
and i can assure you that the above has thorns 2 to 3 inches long, nasty very nasty. Mine has none.
"Distribution: Confined mostly to the edges of dried stream beds near Paradise Point and adjoining areas, c. 15 miles from Karachi proper."
That above reported position is Sindh. Sindh is at sea level, winters are mild while summers are in a way pleasant (sea breeze). That above plant is at 4500 feet, winters are minus 5c and summers touch 50c. Some variation in Nilotica is there according to terrain.
Now check these two names " Paraserianthes", "Albizia". It seems Acacia has branched off into "Wattle". Let me know what you make of it.
The above one is Acacia modesta and it to has short stubby thorns.

Masud.
