Senegalia
''Senegalia'' (from Senegal and ''Acacia senegal'' (L.) Willd.) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the Mimosoid clade. Until 2005, its species were considered members of ''Acacia.'' The genus was considered polyphyletic and required further division, with the genera '' Parasenegalia'' and ''Pseudosenegalia'' accepted soon after. ''Senegalia'' can be distinguished from other acacias by its spicate inflorescences and non-spinescent stipules. Plants in the genus are native to the tropical and subtropical areas of the world, occurring on the Australian, Asian, African and South and North American continents, as well as in Wallacea. Species list ''Senegalia'' comprises the following 222 species, as of February 2021: *'' Senegalia adenocalyx'' *''Senegalia albizioides'' — climbing wattle *'' Senegalia alemquerensis'' *'' Senegalia alexae'' *''Senegalia altiscandens'' *'' Senegalia amazonica'' *''Senegalia andamanica'' *'' Senegalia angust ...

Endemic Flora Of Namibia
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ...
