Senegalia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the Mimosoid clade. Until 2005, its species were considered members of Acacia. The genus was considered polyphyletic and required further division with the genera Parasenegalia and Pseudosenegalia accepted soon after. Senegalia can be distinguished from other acacias by its spicate inflorescences and non-spinescent stipules. Plants in the genus are native to the tropical and subtropical areas of the world, occurring on the Australian, Asian, African and South and North American continents, as well as in Wallacea.

Senegalia kraussiana, synonymously known as Acacia kraussiana and commonly known as Coast Climbing Thorn, Coastal Climbing Acacia or Coastal Climbing Thorn in English and Kusrankdoring or Kus-rankdoring in Afrikaans, is a South African indigenous semi-deciduous tree found in the KwaZulu-Natal province, extending into Mozambique, and Madagascar. It grows in various environments, including dry thornveld, river valley scrub, woodland, bushveld, and scrub. As the name suggests, it is a climbing shrub, meaning it can climb other plants and structures. Different parts of the plant (bark, leaves, gum, roots) are used to treat various ailments, including coughs, eye infections, sores, menstrual problems, and more. The gum can be used as glue, and the pods have been used for ink and dyes.
