	~~Describe~~ the ~~plant~~ here...		'''''Acacia mellifera''''' is a perennial tree which is listed as being not threatened.<ref name="ILDIS">What goes here?</ref>

			The name ''mellifera'' refers to its sweet-smelling blossoms and honey. Its lumber turns pitch black when oiled. Common names of the tree include Blackthorn and Swaarthaak ([[Afrikaans]]).

			'''''Acacia mellifera''''' is found in the dry areas of [[Africa]], the [[Arabian Peninsula]], [[India]] and in the [[Indian Ocean]] area.<ref name="ILDIS">What goes here?</ref>

			''Acacia mellifera'' can manifest itself either as a multi-trunked bush up to seven meters high with more or less a funnel-shaped crown, but also as a small single-trunked tree, which can reach a height of up to nine meters. This kind of acacia can reproduce by seed formation and by stick excursion to form an impenetrable [[thicket]] of several hundred individuals.
