Acacia gum, pieces and powder Acacia senegal, pictured in the medicinal handbook Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen (1887) by Franz Eugen Köhler. Gum arabic (gum acacia, gum sudani, Senegal gum and by other names [a]) (Arabic: صمغ عربي) is a tree gum exuded by two species of Acacia sensu lato, Senegalia senegal [2] and Vachellia seyal.
Its pollen and free amino acids resemble that of Senegalia. Molecular studies place it sister to a monophyletic clade comprising elements of genus Acacia , and the tribe Ingeae . [ 1 ] A nectary ring is present between the stamens and ovary, in common with Acacia subg.
The French botanist, Nicaise Auguste Desvaux (1784-1856) described the taxa Acacia megaladena in 1814 in the Journal de Botanique, Appliquée à l'Agriculture, à la Pharmacie, à la Médecine et aux Arts (Paris). [9] That remained the species name until Acacia was demonstrated to be polyphyletic and the genus Senegalia was accepted.
