Description

A small to medium-sized thorny deciduous tree, usually growing 5–20 m tall. It is easily recognized by its dark grey to black fissured bark, paired straight white thorns, and bipinnate leaves with numerous tiny leaflets. The tree produces bright yellow, fragrant, globose flower heads, followed by flat, grey to black constricted pods containing several seeds.
यह भारत और अफ्रीका का मूल निवासी वृक्ष है तथा शुष्क पर्णपाती वनों, घासभूमियों, नदी किनारों और कृषि क्षेत्रों में सामान्य रूप से पाया जाता है। यह अत्यधिक सूखा सहनशील प्रजाति है और इसकी लकड़ी, ईंधन, चारा, बबूल गोंद, टैनिन तथा औषधीय गुणों के कारण अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण मानी जाती है। इसके फूल मधुमक्खियों के लिए उत्कृष्ट मधुरस (nectar) का स्रोत हैं।
