Acacia aroma is a small, perennial, thorny tree native to Bolivia, Peru, Argentina and Paraguay. Some common names for it are Aromita, Aromo Negro, Espinillo and Tusca. It is not listed as being a threatened species.[3]
Although some sources[4] say that Acacia macracantha Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd. is synonymous with Acacia aroma, genetic analysis of the two species has shown that they are different, but that they are closely related.[5]
