Description
Summary:	Seed proteins from 22 Acacias collected from Northern, Central, and Western Sudan were compared by serological methods in an attempt to classify Sudan Acacias. The results of immuno-diffusion and immuno-electrophoresis studies showed that the studied Acacias could be broadly divided into two main groups and six subgroups. Because of its different serological reaction, A. albida did not fit into either group. A. gerrardii was found to be the least related member of its group. The phytochemical grouping agreed with the established botanical classification for the main groups, and resulted in further subgroups.
