Thorny, weedy shrub (Acacia farnesiana) that supplies a superior gum named kolū after the shrub. This makes a better glue than the well-known Arabic gum. The orange-yellow flower balls yield a penetrating but pleasant odor of perfume. Swollen pods supply a tannin for dye, ink, and tanning; its green fruit is an astringent used medicinally. (NEAL 406.)
