Dear Dinesh ji, very nice pictures and wonderful collections, as usual...a cool treat to eyes!
Regarding your query on meaning, I found the following info in this link: http://www.worldagroforestrycentre.org/sea/products/afdbases/af/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=69 "The generic name Acacia comes from the Greek word ‘akis’, meaning a point or a barb. This acacia was originally described as Mangium montanum Rumph. in Herbarium Amboinense (1750) but changed to an Acacia in 1806. The specific name is an allusion that this tree resembled 'mangge' (mangroves in Indonesia)." Hope this helps Regards Vijayasankar Raman National Center for Natural Products Research University of Mississippi On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 12:15 PM, Dinesh Valke <[email protected]>wrote: > *Acacia mangium * Willd. > > > > - *a-KAY-see-uh* or *uh-KAY-shuh* -- from the Greek *akis*, meaning > point, barb, thorny, spiny > *man-JEE-um* -- pronunciation / meaning not known to me ... *please > help* > > > [image: Hickory > Wattle]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F3958461570%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzeBa0OWwu2sEChYn1LBAgPkq1-FUw> > Sep 26, 2009 ... at a hotel resort near Kolad, Maharashtra > > > *commonly known as*: black wattle, brown salwood, forest mangrove, > hickory wattle, mangium wattle, sabah salwood > > *Native to*: Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea; cultivated elsewhere > > *References*: Flowers of > India<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flowersofindia.in%2Fcatalog%2Fslides%2FHickory%2520Wattle.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzexfJsvgg10q7RKyzoBd6lum8Y80A>• > RNGR<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rngr.net%2FPublications%2Fttsm%2FFolder.2003-07-11.4726%2FAcacia%2520mangium.pdf%2Ffile&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzd6HWbpp8BvvwdoXiFugaEo3fJIUw>• > World > Agroforestry > Centre<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldagroforestry.org%2Fsea%2FProducts%2FAFDbases%2Faf%2Fasp%2FSpeciesInfo.asp%3FSpID%3D69&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzf6MlCsskHRaq7RUAUy1tKO47X7hg> > > > *more views*: > > - Sep 26, 2009 ... at a hotel resort near Kolad, Maharashtra > [image: Brown > Salwood]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F3957692879%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzepB4ZY8EoYRDBiFHx1q4UAUYlwbw> > [image: > Black > Wattle]<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F3957691511%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdspeGM_E7NhK6YXYavgZm_fDoxBg> > - Dec 26, 2007 ...
