Acacia
Botanical (Tree) (Latin acacis meaning Point)
The acacia tree, native to Africa, Australia, and South America, has been valued for its many uses:
- African Acacia: Produces gum arabic, used in food, medicine, and industry.
- Australian Acacia (Wattles): Its bark was traditionally used for tanning leather.
- Tannin-Rich Species: Some African species are rich in tannin, important in dyeing and industrial processes.
