Dear All,
     I decided to check the NCBI database, and it seems to have largely
adopted the subdivision of Acacia into five genera (including
Vachellia).
      However, they still have Acacia nilotica, rather than Vachellia
nilotica.  This does not seem correct to me.  The new combination
Vachellia nilotica was published by Hurter and Mabberly (in Mabberly,
2008), so that formality has been satisfied.
