Vachellia xanthophloea shredded bark from South Africa
This fever-tree material consists of shredded bark identified as Vachellia xanthophloea. It is listed from South Africa and available in 10 g, 50 g and 250 g packs. The coarse cut keeps the bark’s fibrous character visible rather than reducing it to an anonymous powder.
Current name and familiar synonym
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew accepts Vachellia xanthophloea as a tree species in the Fabaceae family. The older name Acacia xanthophloea is recorded as a homotypic synonym, meaning both botanical names are based on the same nomenclatural type. This explains why older references and some retail searches still place the fever tree under Acacia.
Kew records its native range from northern Somalia to southern Africa. The product’s South African origin therefore sits within the wider regional context of the species, but it does not by itself establish a particular wild population or harvesting method.
A recognisable bark format
Shredded bark occupies the middle ground between large intact bark pieces and fine powder. It is easier to place in a specimen container than bulky slabs while still showing fibres, irregular edges and natural colour variation. That makes it useful for botanical reference and comparison. It should not be confused with leaf, seed, root or an extract from the same species.
- Accepted name: Vachellia xanthophloea
- Synonym: Acacia xanthophloea

- Plant part: bark
- Form: shredded
- Listed origin: South Africa
Pack options
Choose 10 g for a compact sample, 50 g for a broader reference quantity, or 250 g when more of the same bark is required. The pack sizes differ only in amount; they do not identify separate grades, provenances or processing standards.
Storage and selection
Keep shredded bark in a well-closed package, stored cool, dry and dark. Avoid direct sun, moisture and strongly scented surroundings, and handle it with clean, dry hands or tools. Buyers comparing nomenclature should note both genus names on older sources while using Vachellia xanthophloea as the accepted identity.
