Acacia, commonly known as wattles [3] [4] or acacias, is a genus of about 1,084 species of shrubs and trees in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the pea family Fabaceae.

The genus contains at least 11 species. Some of these species infect plants in the family Mimosoideae including Acacia, Paraserianthes and Falcataria. [2] Most species are considered to be specific to only one host species of plant, such as Uromycladium simplex on Acacia pycnantha [3] and Uromycladium falcatarium on Falcataria moluccana. [2]
