Welcome to acaciaID. We have created interactive keys, with LucidPro Software, for the identification of the American species of acacia segregate genera including: Vachellia (formerly Acacia subg. Acacia), Acaciella and the new genus Mariosousa. Our long term goal is to work with collaborators to have keys to the five segregate genera of Acacia. Please try the keys. We would appreciate any feedback or photos of species.
