Inflorescences (MHNT) and dry seed pods, the latter resembling apple rings
Faidherbia is a genus of leguminous plants containing one species, Faidherbia albida, which was formerly widely included in the genus Acacia as Acacia albida. The species is native to Africa and the Middle East and has also been introduced to Pakistan and India.[2] Common names include apple-ring acacia[3] (their circular, indehiscent seed pods resemble apple rings),[4]white acacia,[5] and winter thorn.[2] The South African name is ana tree.[2][6]
