Tree+Three

Welcome to the Acacia Tree = = //**Acacia**// (pronounced [|/əˈkeɪʃə/] ) is a [|genus] of [|shrubs] and [|trees] belonging to the [|subfamily] [|Mimosoideae] of the family [|Fabaceae], first described in [|Africa] by the [|Swedish] [|botanist] [|Carl Linnaeus] in 1773. Many non-Australian species tend to be [|thorny], whereas the majority of Australian Acacias are not. They are [|pod]-bearing, with sap and leaves typically bearing large amounts of [|tannins]. The generic name derives from ακακία (//akakia//), the name given by early Greek botanist-physician [|Pedanius Dioscorides] (ca. 40-90) to the medicinal tree //[|A. nilotica]// in his book //[|Materia Medica]//.[|[][|2][|]] This name derives from the [|Greek] word for its characteristic thorns, ακις (//akis,// **thorn**).[|[][|3][|]] The species name //nilotica// was given by Linnaeus from this tree's best-known range along the [|Nile] river. Acacias are also known as **thorntrees**, **[|whistling thorns]** or **wattles**, including the **yellow-fever acacia** and **umbrella acacias**. Until 2005, there were thought to be roughly 1300 [|species] of acacia worldwide, about 960 of them native to [|Australia], with the remainder spread around the tropical to warm-[|temperate] regions of both hemispheres, including [|Europe], [|Africa], southern [|Asia], and the [|Americas]. However, the genus was then divided into five, with the name //Acacia// retained for the Australian species, and most of the species outside Australia divided into //[|Vachellia]// and //[|Senegalia].// = = =can you find out exactly what kind of Acacia I am?=
