More information

Vachellia farnesiana is also known as Acacia farnesiana, and previously Mimosa farnesiana.

It is commonly called sweet acacia, yellow acacia, fragrant acacia, huisache, ancient Cassia, Levant Cassia, Farnese Mimosa or needle bush.

It is a species of shrub or small tree about 10m high from the legume family, Fabaceae (the same family as beans or soya for example).

Its flowers, which are a beautiful golden yellow, are used in the perfume industry.

The flowers are processed by distillation to produce a perfume called cassie, which has been described as "delicious".

It is widely used in the perfume industry in Europe.

The flowers of the plant provide the perfume essence from which the sesquiterpenoid farnesol is extracted.

Analysis of the essences of the floral extract of this plant, long used in perfumery, gave rise to the name of these quiterpene biosynthetic chemical farnesol, found as a basic sterol precursor in plants, and a precursor of cholesterol in animals.

Cassie scented salves are made in India

The base of each leaf is accompanied by a pair of thorns on the branch, hence its nickname "needle bush".

The bark is very rich in tannin (around 23%) and is used in leather tanning.

Use of the plant in traditional medicine:

In Brazil, some people use the seeds of V. farnesiana to kill rabid dogs.

V. farnesiana has been used in Colombia to treat malaria.

In the Philippines, the leaves are traditionally rubbed on the skin to treat skin diseases in livestock.

In Malaysia, an infusion of the flowers and leaves of the plant is mixed with turmeric for postpartum treatment.
