The identity of Senegalia saltilloensis (Fabaceae)
Background and Aims: The mimosoid genera Senegalia and Acacia are closely related. Acacia sensu lato is a polyphyletic group that can be split in the following genera: Vachellia, Senegalia, Acaciella and Mariosousa, remaining as Acacia (sensu stricto) only the “Australian species” and some others fr...

| description | Background and Aims: The mimosoid genera Senegalia and Acacia are closely related. Acacia sensu lato is a polyphyletic group that can be split in the following genera: Vachellia, Senegalia, Acaciella and Mariosousa, remaining as Acacia (sensu stricto) only the “Australian species” and some others from the Pacific Islands. The American species of Senegalia and the new genus Mariosousa include the elements of Acacia subgenus Aculeiferum. We agree with this criterion. Senegalia saltilloensis was described by Britton & Rose in 1928, followed by synonymization with S. roemeriana, and was later re-evaluated as a valid species, creating a new nomenclatural combination in the genus Acacia. The aim of this study was to know the identity of the poorly known plants named as Senegalia saltilloensis.Methods: A morphometric analysis was carried out. A total of 70 specimens were examined and 21 characters were evaluated to find the similarity between Senegalia saltilloensis and Senegalia roemeriana.Key results: The results show no significant morphological difference between the two entities.Conclusions: The name Senegalia saltilloensis should be maintained as synonym of the well- known name of Senegalia roemeriana. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Senegalia y Acacia son dos géneros de mimosoideas estrechamente relacionados. Acacia sensu lato es un grupo polifilético que puede ser dividido en los siguientes géneros: Vachellia, Senegalia, Acaciella y Mariosousa, quedando sólo como Acacia(sensu stricto) “las especies australianas” y algunas de las Islas del Pacífico. Las especies americanas de Senegalia y las del nuevo género Mariosousa incluyen elementos de Acacia subgénero Aculeiferum y otras combinaciones nuevas. Estamos de acuerdo con este criterio.Senegalia saltilloensis fue descrita por Britton & Rose en 1928, luego incluida en la sinonimia de S. roemeriana y más tarde considerada como especie válida, creándose una combinación nomenclatural nueva para el género Acacia. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la identidad de las plantas con el nombre poco conocido de Senegalia saltilloensis.Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un análisis morfométrico de 70 especímenes, con la evaluación de 21 caracteres para encontrar la similitud entre Senegalia saltilloensis y Senegalia roemeriana.Resultados clave: Los resultados no muestran diferencias morfológicas significativas entre las dos entidades.Conclusiones: El nombre Senegalia saltilloensis debe mantenerse como parte de la sinonimia del nombre bien conocido de Senegalia roemeriana.
