If their proposal is ratified and adopted [which seems likely, although
there are a few steps remaining] then apparently the genus name
_Vachellia_ will be used for the former "Acacia subgenus Acacia", and
the name _Acacia_ will become restricted to the phyllode-bearing clade
[again, which includes some species without phyllodes].


Word of Orchard & Maslin's proposal, and its progress through
the botanical legal system?
