Abstract
The Acacia group (Leguminosae family, Mimosaceae subfamily) comprises more than 1250 known species of shrubs and trees (Duhoux et al.1998). Mostly they grow in arid and semi-arid regions and are resistant to dry climate due to their highly developed root system. This explains their role in the rural economy of all arid and semi-arid regions. Other species grow in humid tropical zones, All Acacia species are important for sustainable development of arid and tropical regions (Duhoux et al., 1998).
