South Africa
In the last years a lot of new Acacia species have been described from Africa, too. There are actually 51 recognized species, subspecies (ssp) and varieties (var) of the genus Acacia, that occur within the borders of South Africa. One recognized hybrid is also included.
According to Dr.Johan Hurter from SANBI in Nelspruit (he has now moved to Western Australia) more new species will be described in the future.
As Mr. Bruce Maslin told me, the new names will be published soon.
