MINE ACACIA NILOTICA The photographs are those of Acacia nilotica (babul i n Hindi). The yellow flowers are sweet scented. The bark is used for tanning. Some people use the small stems for cleaning teeth. The wood is use ful for agricultural implements. A.planifrons is different from A.nilotica. The flowers of A.planifrons are not yellow - either cream coloured or say white? ----- Original Message ---- From: Geeta Rane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: indiantreepix <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 22 September, 2008 1:55:18 PM Subject: [indiantreepix:4936] Re: Acacia planifrons?
