No word from the nexus resident ID'er acacian for a while must be deep in dialogue with some trees.

Hi I'm trying to ID this Accacia from my back garden. I'm in the Northwest of Western Australia. The pics were taken at night hence the leaves "sleeping", I can take some photos during the day if it will help. :?
acacian suggested it might be acacia glaucoptera but seems too large?
Thanks for any and all help guys...

Hello all,
I just thought I'd share these pics that were taken today at the end of my street to try and get a positive id. My most awesome wife brought me a dirt bike for chrissy so I went for a little adventure only 5mins from my house and took these......oh, there around 1000m altitude in the blue mountains of nsw
Suspecting A. obtusifolia and have seen good results already from an A/B/A/B extraction.
Cheers

Happy new year all!
I was thinking, what about programming an acacia ID program that is web based?
Would be great to be able to ID on the fly (out in the bush), using your smartphone
It would work something like this (it's gonna be hard to describe via text):
Using various drop down boxes eg
1) phyllode type (allow you to select the different phyllode types, whether single or bipinnate etc)
2) phyllode length (select different sizes)
3) flower type (ball or rod)
4) pods (straight, curved, clustered etc)
5) flower colour (yellow, pale yellow, red)
As you select each value, it narrows down your search to the acacias that contain those values
I'm sure it could be done relatively easy with a access or SQL/MySQL, and a web front end.
I'm not a programmer (not my field), but I would be happy to crunch out data entry to populate the database
House of Acacia, bring it on!

sounds like an excellent idea!!
^--Shadow..would need closer-up shots of flower, phyllode vein structure, and, crucially, pods...am not entirely sure it is an acacia from those pictures, and a limited amount of time to ponder..

Hi. I found quite a few of these trees in my locale today. I think they may be A. Floribunda, but I'm not certain since most of the pics available online are of the shrub variety.
I understand the pics are not great and I can return and get some close ups if necessary.

funnily enough the marion simmons book which that image is from states that floribunda has a basal gland :/
..the generally accepted current definition of A. floribunda is that the gland is usually absent, or else inconspicuous..
but i would say the Key way of distinguishing it from A. longifolia is the flowers...
floribunda has sparse/spread out flower heads, while longifolia's are dense..
below is the A. floribunda herbarium specimen from n.s.w.

I see. The trees are not in flower at the moment. They have quite a lot of fruit but no flowers. (I'm in Victoria, Australia for the record.)
I'll post some cuttings and close ups in about 12 hours.

This is another species I found a little while back but didn't have my camera until today. There aren't many in the area and I know it has been in flower since at least early December, when I first saw it.
i'm pretty sure the above tree is retinodes
