Notes. Deshpande et al. (2019: 16) noted: "Chakrabarty and Gangopadhyay (1996) recorded Acacia sphaerocephala as being cultivated in the Indian Botanical Garden, Howrah, and in gardens in Pune. L.Rico (cited in Kumar and Sane 2003) noted that this species is easily confused with Acacia cornigera [syn. Senegalia cornigera] and these Indian occurrences may be based on misidentifications for that species; this matter requires investigation.".
