Summary

Senegalia
Family:
Fabaceae
(alt. Leguminosae)
Subfamily:
Caesalpinioideae
Tribe:
Acacieae
Nomen number:
465193

Comment:
Seigler & Ebinger cited "
Acacia mellifera
(Vahl) Benth." as an apparent basionym, but Bentham's name was explicitly based on
Mimosa mellifera
Vahl, therefore no correction of this erroneous citation is possible under
Shenzhen ICN
41.8(a) and the name was not validly published by them under Art. 41.6
