Acacia originates from Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, and was successfully introduced to Sabah, Malaysia in 1960 and other countries, such as Bangladesh, China, Thailand, India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and India. Acacia plants are widely used as roadside shade trees, ornamental plants, and their wood is used in the manufacture of household furniture. Acacia trees also contain several beneficial biochemical compounds that can help treat various diseases. 

Plants in warm, humid tropical areas, found at altitudes of up to 800 meters above sea level, in areas where the average annual rainfall is between 1,500 and 3,000 mm. Thrives in various soil types, typically found in acidic soils with moderate to low fertility, prefers well-drained soils, pH in the range of 4.5-6.5, requires a sunny position (full sunlight). 

• Acacia roots are strong and taprooted.

• Young acacia stems have smooth, greenish bark. After 2-3 years, fissures appear in the bark. In older trees, the bark becomes rough, hard, fissured near the base, and changes color to brown or dark brown.

• The leaves of newly sprouted acacia seedlings are compound, consisting of numerous leaflets. However, after a few weeks, the compound leaves will no longer form, and the petiole and main axis of each compound leaf will widen and transform into a phyllode. The phyllode has parallel veins and reaches 25 cm in length and 10 cm in width.

• Acacia flowers are composed of numerous small, white or cream-colored spikes. When they bloom, the flowers resemble bottle brushes.

• The pods are broad, linear, and irregularly circular when ripe, membranous or slightly woody, inconspicuously veined, 3-5 mm wide, and 7-10 cm long.

• Acacia seeds are shiny black and vary in shape, from longitudinal, elliptical, oval, to oblong, measuring 3-5 x 2-3 mm. They are attached to pods by reddish-orange stalks.

• Generative propagation is carried out using seeds that have been pretreated by soaking them in boiled water and allowing them to cool for 24 hours, or by soaking them in sulfuric acid for 10-30 minutes followed by soaking them in cold water for 24 hours.

• Vegetative propagation is carried out using stem cuttings of one node length.

• Treating diarrhea and dysentery, helping in cases of internal bleeding, treating wounds and other skin problems, hemorrhoids, sweaty feet, some eye problems, as a mouthwash, treating premature ejaculation, and lowering hypertension.

• Alkaloid, flavonoid, fenolik, steroid, tanin, terpenoid, methoxyl, uronic acid, 4-0-methylgucoronic acid, glucoronic acid, galactose, arabinose, and rhamnose.
