Tropicos is outdated or a project which did start up(plus their server is 486 based???) but then faltered, maybe lack of funds but most probably due to the security situation plus the fact that mountain dwellers where ever in the world are very suspicious of outsiders. Which does not mean that it cannot be done, you just have to pander to the mental psychology of these mountain folks and they will roll out the red carpet. Desmanthus is absent from Tropicos list. Ok here you can't take the ghee out with the straight finger, you need a crooked one.

Flowers are common now i need to find a unarmed one. Also i have to check if it folds its leaves after sunset like "Forget me not".
Desmanthus virgatus (L.) Willd. (Acacia virgata (L.) Gaertn.)(Acuan virgatum (L.) Medik)(Mimosa virgata L.)
Found the above lone representative in China.
Problem is 1.5 meters tall, while mine is 4+ meters tall. Like the fact that unlike Acacia it like its roots waterlogged like mine does.
Nepal has none. Janet plz find me the link to the Indian data base. They should have it somewhere.
Ok, now i am distracted found Decaloba and it has hooked me.
Sorry Janet while looking for one you get hooked on to another. Let me appreciate this Passion flower for a while but at least from Acacia to Prosopis to Desmanthus.
