Dichrostachys kirkii is a thorny shrub or small tree from the pea family, native to northeast tropical Africa in dry shrubland and desert margins. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant plant rarely grown in gardens, so care relies on its dry-climate habit.
Dichrostachys kirkii is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Ethiopia and Somalia.
