Name Status. Non-Current Name
Notes. Because Acacia intsia was recognized as a distinct species by Sanjappa (1992: 40), Kumar & Sane (2003: 87) and ILDIS (The International Legume Database & Information Service, Roskov et al. 2005), Maslin et al. (2013: 4) provided a combination for the species in Senegalia, despite the fact that Chakrabarty & Gangopadhyay (1996: 606) considered this name to be a nomen confusum. The identity of the basionym (Mimosa intsia) is discussed by Craib (1915) who concluded that the material upon which Plukenet's plate was based comprised two elements, a vegetative shoot of Mimosa rubricaulis (which occurs in Asia and Africa) and a detached pod of an unknown Acacia [sens. lat.] species. This plate (with no reference to Craib's interpretation) was selected by Rico Arce (in Turland & Jarvis 1997: 476) as the lectotype of M. intsia, replacing the inappropriate lectotypification of Ali (1967: 237). In view of the above it is now most considered appropriate to follow Craib and Chakrabarty & Gangopadhyay, and therefore the name Senegalia intisia is here disregarded.
