Racosperma
 Racosperma is a name proposed for the 980 odd Australian members of the genus Acacia which belong to the subfamily Mimosoideae of the Pea Family Fabaceae first described from Africa by C. F. P. Martius in 1829.The name did not gain wide acceptance and has fallen into disuse following the decision to vote on a new Type species for Acacia which has resulted in the vast majority including all Australian species as Acacia. The decision was not an uncontroversial one.[citation needed]
