Thanks very much Gurcharan ji for bringing this post up for validation. I too am keen to know whether I am mistaking the subspecies that I have labeled for an unarmed tree seen at Vaghbil, Thane.
The last photograph taken on Jan 25, 2009, at Zirad near Alibag, Maharashtra does not show aspects other than a cluster of dried-up pods - it might be at best taken just as Acacia nilotica. Regards. Dinesh.
