These were sold to me as Senegalia roemeriana, but really don't look like any pictures I'm seeing. Any ideas?

they do look like young gangly specimens of the Senegalia drawing on Wikipedia

they’re technically “neighbors” to acacia – senegalia, acacia, mimosa, and mesquite are all part of the Mimosoid clade

I agree they have a similar form, but the flowers on these seem very different from any Texas native Senegalia species I've found. That drawing on the Wikipedia page shows the kind of spiky flowers they all seem to have, where these each have 5 rounded petals (see pic in comments)

Flowers are not compatible with any mimosoid.

I think it’s an Eysenhardtia but not certain on the species.

Genius! They're totally Texas kidneywoods
