Fever Tree Vachellia xanthophloea

is a semi-deciduous to deciduous tree up to 30m tall, with an open, rounded to spreading crown. The characteristic bark is smooth, powdery and greenish yellow, although new twigs are purple, flaking later to reveal the characteristic yellow.[2] It is one of the few trees where photosynthesis takes place in the bark. Straight, white spines grow from the branch nodes in pairs.

The leaves and pods are used to provide food for livestock while the young branches and foliage are eaten by African elephants while giraffe and vervet monkeys eat the pods and leaves. The flowers are used for foraging by bees and provides favoured nesting sites for birds. Like other acacias and Fabaceae it is a nitrogen fixer, so improves soil fertility. The gum is part of the diet of the Senegal bushbaby (Gallinago senegalensis) especially in the dry season
