Senegalia modesta (commonly called phulai [2] in Pakistan, phalāhī ਫਲਾਹੀ پھلاہی (Punjabi) in India) is a species of plant commonly found [3] in Pakistan, India [4] and Afghanistan. S. modesta [5] is a perennial [6] tree and formerly, it was classified as Acacia modesta. [2] The plant is drought tolerant. [7] S. modesta`s tree grow in medium size (3 to almost 5 meters) [8] deciduous form with rough surfaced, brown or greenish grey bark, leaflets as (3-5 pairs), cream colored inflorescence (in April–May or July–August) in the form of pedunculate spike, pods as stipitate having 3-5 seeds inside. [9]
In August, 2018 thousands of phulai trees were planted during the two-day tree plantation for reforestation [3] campaign in Kingyar Gali, District Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. [10]
The tree produces a gum in the form of pale yellow small tears of mucilage. [11] [12] This gum (also called gum arabic) is used for emulsification and stabilizing agent in food, cosmetic, textile and pharmaceutical industries. [13] The hard wood of tree is also source of fuel. [14]
