Abstract
The genus Prosopis (family Leguminosae) is composed of nearly 45 species, commonly called mesquites, distributed in arid and semiarid zones of Asia, Africa, Australia, and America. Forty-two of these species are native to America, where they are distributed from western North America to Patagonia, with an important polymorphism center in central-west Argentina (De Ataide 1990).
