%X This work is a taxonomic study on the genus <i>Acacia</i> in the Tehama area, Al Baha region¡ªSaudi
Arabia. It depended on a brief description of the Climate, Topography, and Geology
of the study area. The total numbers of species identified were seven species, classified
into two major groups depending on their differences in the vegetative, floral,
and fruit characteristics. Scientific classification of the genus <i>Acacia</i> was provided. Botanical description
and distribution of species on habitats were determined for all seven species. Medicinal
properties and local uses for some species were obtained. All identified species
have been illustrated by photos of their habitats. A taxonomic key was constructed
to show the differences among the seven wild selected species. Botanical names and
synonyms were updated and vernacular names have been presented.
