Acacia in Indonesia

Hi can someone please help me identify this Acacia.

I am in Lombok Indonesia.

Unfortunately I did not think to take a pic of the tree itself. Only pic of leaves which I brought home.

However I can describe it.

It looked like a fairly young tree maybe under 8 years old.
Thin straight white coloured trunk with greyish mottled areas (spots) a little smaller than a woman's fist I think. Similar to the one further up this page.

It had no flowers.

When I first saw it I couldn't help but notice it looked like an Australian wattle but very tall. Maybe about 10 metres. So this is more like a Mimosa I am guessing.

I have seen other trees which I am sure are Acacia of a different species. I will be exploring very soon.
I am sure the locals eat the leaves and seeds in place of vegetables when money is scarce.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me identify these leaves.

I mistakenly posted this pic I know nothing about this one yet.

Thanks for that link.

I will look.

Edit: I have explored this link and confusa is the only one that comes close.

Still not sure.
