Vachellia acuifera (Fabaceae : Mimosoideae) new to Cuba

摘要

Vachellia acuifera, hitherto considered endemic to the Bahamas, has been found as a native element in the natural vegetation of Caletones, a coastal locality of Holguin province, northeastern Cuba. This new record for Cuba is an additional indication for the strong phytogeographic affinities between the northern coast of Cuba and the Bahamas.
