Unripe, flat, glossy maroon pods. [12] The tree has a tannin content of 6%, which inhibits the ability of livestock to make use of the tree's protein. Tropical Grasslands [Proceedings of the "Forage demand and adoption by smallholder livestock keepers workshop" held at the International Livestock Research Institute, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 18-20 June, 2001. It is found on dry soils on hillsides, savannahs, rocky outcrops, grasslands and open shrublands. with an Australian type: a pragmatic view. (2005) report that the species can be controlled using basal bark or cut-stump applications of tree-killing herbicides such as fluroxypyr, triclopyr or trichlopyr + picloram. Beetles (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) have been found to cause damage to the seeds (Raine et al., 2007). Dzowela (1994) also discuss that slowly decomposing prunings may suppress weed growth in the crop fields. ex DB, an Australian species.

Acaciella angustissima is still one of the many crops under-utilized and researched. A. angustissima is found in tropical and subtropical climates, doing best in seasonally dry areas (Csurhes and Naive, 2009). Leaves moderately large, bipinnate, the pinnae few to several pairs (about 15 pairs in Panamanian material cited), opposite or subopposite on the rachis, the leaflets numerous (up to 60 or more pairs per pinna); petiole up to a few cm.

Flowers are protandrous and open within a single day (Raine et al., 2007). Pods turn mid-orange when ripe. Bray et al. The recent introduction of the species to Cuba has led to the suggestion that it may have been introduced from the  southern USA to Cuba by Hurricane "Ike" in 2008 (Martínez Quesada and Morales Pérez, 2013). It is also reported growing in Quercus and Pinus forests and at secondary low deciduous or semi-deciduous forests (Rico Arce and Bachman, 2006).

In its native range mean annual rainfall varies from 400 to 3000 mm and mean temperature is 25-30°C; it tolerates cold climates once established (occasional temperatures below freezing) (Dzowela, 1994; Cook et al., 2005). The flowers have 5 petals with a large number of stamens extended far past the petals. Aside from being drought tolerant, Acaciella angustissima also has the benefit of being a green manure, since it has such a high leaf density, but also loses the majority of its leaves each season. It also forms colonies by means of woody rhizomes (USDA-NRCS, 2015). (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) with a new type. Luckily there is hope, roughly 20 years ago researches started evaluating it in tropical areas such as Zimbabwe. http://www.hear.org/pier/index.html, Raine NE; Pierson AS; Stone GN, 2007.

Agroforestree Database: a tree reference and selection guide version 4.0. The extensive synonymy, the recognition of some synonyms as valid species by different authors, the extensive native range and its variable morphology suggest that further studies are needed for the species delimitation (Roshetko, 2001; Rico Arce and Bachman, 2006). (1996) give details on the introductions to Indonesia and Australia to study shrubby legume species for their potential as fodder. long, like the petiole; pinnular rachis 3-9 cm long, somewhat margined, seemingly eglandular, bearing basally a pair of stipule-like leaflets; leaflets nearly linear, usually about 6 mm long and 1 mm. The use of slow travel and RPM speeds while harvesting results in relatively clean seed, needing little cleaning or processing.

Baton Rouge, USA: National Plant Data Center. It only grows in very wet parts of the world, usually around the equator due to its large consumption of water. More information is needed in the impacts on invaded habitats and its effects on biodiversity. Acaciella angustissima is normally a shrub but can also look like a small tree when fully grown, since its height can vary from 2–7 m depending on the growing conditions. Kingsville, Texas, USDA: USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. 1-15. Proposal to conserve the name Acacia Mill. Large clumps of small white flowers cover the branches of the bush. Contact Info. Although it is not listed for the Guyana's, Uruguay and Paraguay, Rico Arce and Bachman (2006) report that the species might have been introduced in those countries for forestry trials, as has been done in Brazil (Rico Arce and Bachman, 2006). 24 refs.

Acaciella angustissima comes from the plant family Fabaceae. Used in Mexico for traditional medicinal purposes. [10] Thirdly, Acaciella angustissima contains roughly 10% tannins, which is the plant's natural defense mechanism. USDA-ARS, 2015. It is one of the acacias most widely distributed in the Neotropics (Cook et al., 2005). http://apps.kew.org/seedlist/SeedlistServlet, Kuntashula E; Mafongoya PL, 2005. This ability to grow quickly and reproduce when young has resulted in the plant becoming weedy and forming thickets, especially along roadsides and in sandy soil in pastures in its native range [303 ]. Experiments have shown that A. angustissima mildly inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. by Acamovic, T.\Stewart, C.S.\Topps, J.H.]. The damage caused by insects makes old trees vulnerable to strong winds, promoting new plants to emerge rapidly in the rainy season, which is reported as being an important propagation and survival strategy for the species (Raine et al., 2007).Associations, Lloret et al. result of scari cation of seeds of Acacia angustissima showed that seeds soaking in hot water cause seed germination induction but increasing duration of seed contact with hot water leads to decline of seed germination percentage [ ]. One or more of the features that are needed to show you the maps functionality are not available in the web browser that you are using. Research in Africa also started in the early 1990's and has been facilitated by the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) to promote the species use for agroforestry and as a fodder (Dzowela, 1994; Dzowela et al., 1997). It is argued that the species secondary compounds bind nitrogen, which helps build up organic matter in the soil (Dzowela 1994, Mafongoya et al.,1997).

A. angustissima has been extensively promoted as a multi-purpose tree outside its native range, as a fodder, to restore soil fertility, and to improve crop production in countries where there is no food security, soils have been degraded and there is the need for low cost options for agroforestry (Dzowela, 1994; Bohringer, 2001; Rincón-Rosales and Gutiérrez-Miceli, 2008). Beltsville, Maryland, USA: National Germplasm Resources Laboratory. Nitrogen Fixing Tree Research Reports, 10: 73-76; 7 ref. They come in pairs of 3–12. Potential antimicrobial activity of plants from the southwestern United States. The genus is characterized by the unarmed plants, lack of extrafloral nectaries and pollen in 8-celled polyads. It responds well to fertilizers (Cook et al., 2005). Dzowela BH; Hove L; Maasdorp BV; Mafongoya PL, 1997.

Acacia angustissima) was once considered a potential new shrub forage legume but due to its relative unpalatability and prolific seed production it is now regarded as a potential woody weed. Genesys, 2015. In addition to growing plants from our species list, we will do site specific seed collections and plant grow outs for habitat restoration projects.
