Abstract

González-Gutiérrez, P. A.: Vachellia acuifera (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) new to Cuba [Novitiae florae cubensis 25]. — Willdenowia 37: 547–549. — ISSN 0511-9618; © 2007 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.37.37213 (available via http://dx.doi.org/)

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 Holguín 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.
