I'm not a botanist but I am a landscaper.  Acacia consist of about 1,000
species of evergreens growing in tropical and subtropical regions.  Many people
get these confused with the trees and shrubs commonly called acacia but those
belong to the group Robinia which is where the Mimosa belongs.
What were you looking for exactly?
