Thanks very much Tapas ji for the information. I read the description for *Vachellia nilotica* subsp. *kraussiana* at Plantz Africa. <http://pza.sanbi.org/vachellia-nilotica-subsp-kraussiana> It say the plant has long spines.
I thought *Vachellia nilotica* subsp.* tomentosa* bears no spines; Hopefully next time when I go to the site will get pictures of its pods. Regards.
