Acacia mellifera
Common names
(Afrikaans) : swartaak, swarthook (Arabic) : kedad, kitir, kitr (English) : black thorn, hook thorn, wait-a-bit thorn (Ndebele) : katogwa, muguhungu, mukotokwa, umngaga (Somali) : bilel, lanen, laner (Swahili) : kikwata (Tigrigna) : tselim kenteb (Tongan) : mupandabutolo (Tswana) : blouhaak, haakdoring, hakiesdoring, mongana, wynruit Acacia mellifera is a low, branched tree with a more or less spherical crown. Black bark on stem becomes ash-grey to light brown on the branches, bearing small, short, sharply hooked spines in pairs. It has a shallow but extensive root system radiating from the crown, allowing the plant to exploit soil moisture and nutrients from a large volume of soil. The roots rarely penetrate more than 1 m. Leaves characterized by 2 pairs of pinnulae, each with a single pair of leaflets. Leaflets elliptic 0.6-2 cm long and 0.6-1.2 cm wide, glabrous and highly coloured beneath. Flowers sweetly scented, especially at night, in elongated spikes, cream to white in spiciform racemes, up to 3.5 cm long; pedicels 0.5-1.5 mm long; calyx up to 1 mm long; corolla 2.5-3.5 mm long. The papery pods with 2-3-seeds are reticulate, flat, elongated, 2.5-5.5 cm long, 6 cm wide, hemmed, sometimes more or less narrowed between the seeds. The generic name ‘acacia’ comes from the Greek word ‘akis’, meaning point or barb. The specific name means ‘honey-bearing’.
