Notes

Coming from East of USA, ROBINIA was introduced in Europe by Jean ROBIN in the 17th century. ROBINIA is frequently called "Acacia" which is source of mistake. The name "Acacia" must be used only for woods of the "Acacia" genus (tropical species). Some of them, coming from plantations are arriving on the European market today (i.e. ACACIA MANGIUM, cf. corresponding sheet).
