Pradeep Krishen says: "2 other subspecies were until recently regarded as varieties but have now been 'promoted'- one is the kauria or vedi babool (scientifically: Acacia nilotica subsp. vediana) which is short & crooked, with a more spreading crown of interlacing branches. Its bark is also rougher and more fissured. It is found mostly in the Deccan."
