Flowers are born in inflorescences which consist of three to seven spicate branches per culm. The spicate inflorescences consist of inconspicuous flowers. Flowers borne in compound umbel, spikes loosely spicate of 3-8 spixelets. They may be solitary or grow in small spicate groups of two to six cones. Each inflorescence typically has six or seven spicate branches, each of which carries numerous florets. Spikelets within the inflorescence (flower cluster) are generally arranged on spicate racemes in pairs. "Senegalia" can be distinguished from other acacias by its spicate inflorescences and non-spinescent stipules.
