Mimosa ferruginea Rottler, Neue Schriften Ges. Naturf. Freunde Berlin 4: 208 (1803)
Name Status. Non-Current Name
Name Type. Heterotypic synonym Source. WorldWideWattle
Accepted Name. Vachellia leucophloea (Roxb.) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger
Notes. It appears that Rottler was providing a new name, Mimosa ferruginea, for the plant previously known by the unpublished name, M. alba Roxb.; he could not adopt M. alba because this name was already occupied by Swartz (1788) for a different species. (B.R. Maslin, July 2014).
SYNONYMY
Notes. Baillon (1883: 362) treated M. ferruginea Rottler as conspecific with Acacia pennata, without discussion. This synonymy was adopted by Tropicos (accessed July 2014) and followed uncritically by Maslin (2012: 466). It is clear, however, from the protologue and from the LINN type that it should have been referred to S. leucophloea.
