Name

Senegalia vogeliana (Steud.) Britton & Rose, N. Amer. Fl.  23:  116.  1928. 

Synonymy and types

Acacia vogeliana Steud., Nomencl. bot. 2: 1: 9.  1840.  Lysiloma vogeliana (Britton & Rose) Stehlé, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris. Ser. 18: 193.  1946.  - TYPE:  HAITI:  Santo Domingo, 1839, C. A. Ehrenberg s.n. [holotype:  B, destroyed (K photo); lectotype:  designated here: NY; isotype:  US fragment).  NOTE:  Most recent workers do not consider this species to be a member of the genus Lysiloma (Barneby and Zanoni, 1989; Barneby and Grimes, 1996).  Howard (1988), in contrast, placed the name Acacia vogeliana Steudel in synonymy under Lysiloma ambigua Urban.  However, in contrast to other Lysiloma species, which possess extended monadelphous filament tubes, the filaments of the stamens are at most very shortly united at the base, a characteristic of many Acacia species.
