From
Kew
: " It is named after the Karoo region of the former Cape Province of South Africa"
From
http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantab/acaciakar.htm
:
"The name Acacia is derived from Greek "akis" a point or barb. Karroo is one of the old spellings of karoo which cannot be corrected because of the laws governing botanical nomenclature (giving of names)."

I don't much trust eBay but you appear to be able to buy the seeds through this vendor:
