Botany Acacia and Mimosa Identification Thread

Growing logs with advice and results.
Migrated topic.
Honestly didn't have a close look at the base but they where very sparse loose tree's, with smooth brown bark. From what I saw everything matches the A.Obtusifloia except the curved phyllodes.

Yea I kinda think this is a A.Obtusifolia Dominate cross with A.Maidenii.
Also found a few beautiful and rare Late flowering A.Maidenii. I will wait for them 2 seed and collect only a few. Also observed a bunch of lovely A.Maidenii perched on a mountain cliff top, out of harms way hehehe.

So I did a quick burn and it defiantly has a familiar smell/taste. WOOT!
 
Hi everyone. I suspect I've found some A. Floribunda but not entirely certain. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey all, I have found what I believe to be either a. MEARNSII or a. DEALBATA, if someone could give me an I.D. it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, runner hard to say without flowers, But it doesn't look like an acacia. Not sure on the I.D, good luck with your search!
 
Zero; The suspected Floribunda, could potentially be mucronata. Definitely interested in hearing other people opinions as I have found another tree sharing the same attributes...
goodluck

Hey gogolbro, it's not dealbata... maybe a.fulva

a.dealbata does not have interjugary glands which I can see from your first pic

Runner, I think you have a mimosa or albizia of some sort
 
Sorry... I edited my post above.

It's not mearnsii, mearnsii have jugary glands, where your one doesn't
Have you looked at a.fulva?

That's fine my friend, thanks for you quick reply. A. fulva is looking pretty much identical. Although I noticed the lack of findings from this plant, would be interesting to do some experiments.

Jugary glands? As in the small bumps along the stem?
After finding this: http://www.utas.edu.au/dicotkey/dicotkey/FABACEAE/gAcacia_25.htm

It seems that this specimen has inter-juggary glands, specifically photo 3 if zoomed in as far as possible 😁

Thanks again, Shadow
 
Hey all. :)
This is my first post here, long time lurker. Lol.
Anyway, I went for a walk today and in my local area I stumbled across an Acacia.
However Im quite shocking at IDing them, so any help would be appreciated
if I need better photos please tell me

..looks like longifolia maybe

Have a look and see if there are any tiny hairs on the penduncles (flower stems), if there are no hairs, then might be longifolia

If there are hairs, then may be maidenii or floribunda...
 
I couldn't see the trunks as it was behind a fence.
However I took a small branch home today to look for a better ID.
As far as I can see there are no little hairs.
