	abstract = {<p>Recent research shows that the formerly broadly circumscribed, pantropical genus\&nbsp;Acacia Mill. (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) is polyphyletic and should be treated as comprising\&nbsp;at least five genera, namely, Acacia Mill. sensu stricto, Acaciella Britton \&amp; Rose, Mariosousa\&nbsp;Seigler \&amp; Ebinger, Senegalia Raf. and Vachellia Wight \&amp; Arn. The indigenous flora of Acacia\&nbsp;sensu lato in East and Southeast Asia comprise 52 species: 32 species (38 taxa) of Senegalia, 12\&nbsp;species of Acacia sensu stricto and eight species of Vachellia. These species are listed and their\&nbsp;geographic distributions given, showing that Acacia sensu lato is unevenly distributed across\&nbsp;the region, with centres of species-richness in Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand. A summary\&nbsp;of the classification history of Acacia sensu lato is provided and nomenclatural impacts of the\&nbsp;recent retypification of Acacia briefly discussed.</p>
