Botany Acacia and Mimosa Identification Thread

[--Shadow]

These three are also around, not sure if they are Acacia or not....
First pic EDIT: variant of A. retinodes

 

[DreaMTripper]

bbing pic 2 is a.obtusifolia and the red aril is that of a.cyclops.
shadow pic 1 looks very much like a variant of a.retinodes.

Hi, could you identify these please? I was looking for obtusifolia.

 

[crabby nebula]

Hi, I found 3 similar trees next to each other. Leaves are the same and bark is similar. Some of the trees had rougher bark closer to the bottom and smoother bark higher up. One or two of them had smooth bark all the way up. They were about 4-5 meters high and 5-10 centimeters thick in the trunk. Attached are pictures of the leaves and trunks. Could someone try to identify them please? Location: SE Queensland

Hello Nexians!

I have been scanning my surrounding for a usable sample of acacia Karoo, I am choosing this sp as it is literally every second tree in my area, this tree is all over the place and I cannot find much info regarding this sp and its activity.

This is my final specimen but before I proceed I'd like the opinions from the community. Can anyone confirm that it is indeed a. karoo? I have seen two variations of this tree around, some have white long thorns and the some don't. By what I am noticing I think its due the age difference (young trees have thorns and older ones don't)

Peace

I was reading an article today (not sure how old it was - I'll get a scan of it one day), but it was a notice about various invasive weeds and Acacia Karroo was mentioned to notice councils immediately if spotted in any residential or private property.

...Arczilla , You really should harvest this as a service to the community and relevant authoritative bodies

crabby nebula looks similar to a.melanoxylon but I cant say for sure there are many look-a-likes maybe start looking in that family. Definitely not obtuse and the gland looks too far from the stem for a.longifolia (phyllodes too close together and not evenly spaced too)
Interesting shaped phyllodes looks like one side is straight the other curved or is that just how they are lay?

 

[DreaMTripper]

This is an interesting one that has me stumped, 4 major veins and many anastomising with a gland at the base, this made me think its obtuse but then I noticed flowers starting to starting to develop in balls not rods so I think that rules obtuse out.
Any ideas??

A.Frigescens?

 

[DreaMTripper]

Looks very similar I will count the flower heads next time I walk past, cheers!

 

[Curb]

Hi, i have ignored this tree in my backyard for years and recent flowering has made me wonder. can someone help? i think i might be acacia burkittii but some photos ive seen contradict that opinion (different phylodes?) Thanks in advance for any help.

Victoria, SE.
I have being lurking here for quiet some time, and i swear i have seen
quiet a few very alike looking acacias.

 

[DreaMTripper]

radmotion[/] 3rd pic definitely not an acacia
curb looks like burkitti but im not 100% ... is there a gland at the base
" glands absent or 1 inconspicuous gland at base"
PlantNET - FloraOnline

Its now classed as Acacia acuminata subsp. burkittii by the way..

 

[Curb]

thankyou DreaMTripper, im not too sure about the inconspicuous gland at the base of phylode or what that means, as you can see from the close-up picture the phylodes are bigger and round hairy balls, they arent elongated like that website shows. it may be another subspecies all together as im in a northern part of WA and burkitti references seem to be more southern examples. I suppose the only definitive way to know would be collecting a bunch of phylodes or leaves and doing an extraction (from 50g or so im thinking)

come to think of it i HAVE seen bukitti in the bush, but this is quite a large tree, maybe it changes as it reaches full maturity. this tree would have to be atleast 25 years old.

 

[DreaMTripper]

It means its hard to see or well hidden.
I read its no taller than 5m either and apparently it doesnt grow north of central WA..

 

[MirrorLake]

Hi could anyone help ID this plant?
It's growing in the state of Quintana Roo;Yucatan Peninsula;Mexico in the jungle.These trees are not very tall- about 5-7 metres.There weren't any visible seedpots I could photograph.I am surely to upload more photos but has anyone got any idea?I was hoping it might be A.rigidula, but the leaves are totally not right.Help please.

 

[DansMaTete]

The first 3 pics are probably leadtree (Leucaena leucocephala)

Does that book work only for Australian acacias or it is worldwide?

The software is just for Acacias of Australia atm (which are still being discovered)
