Senegalia (from Senegal and Acacia senegal (L.) Willd.) is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Mimosoideae. Until 2005, its species were considered members of Acacia. The genus is still considered polyphyletic and will require further division.Senegalia can be distinguished from other acacias by its spicate inflorescences and non-spinescent stipules.
These species are suspected to belong to Senegalia, but have not been formally transferred.
