(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>
