South Africa

In the last years a lot of new acacia species have been described from Africa, too. There are actually 51 recognised species, subspecies (ssp) and varieties (var) of the genus Acacia, that occur within the borders of South Africa. One recognised hybrid is also included.

According to Dr.Johan Hurter from SANBI in Nelspruit (he has now moved to NZ) more new species will be described in the future.
