Botany Acacia and Mimosa Identification Thread

[oversoul1919]

Didn't know where to post this question, so I chose to post it here.

Can anyone give me a list of acacias which grow in continental climates (cold winters, hot summer)? I've ran upon two trees, one is definitely from Leguminosae family, and other is similar to Robinia pseudoacacia, but is thornless and had upright purple flowers.

I'll also try to get some photos tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

Some that I may have come across on a walk recently in West Australia
I only managed to narrow it down to 25 or so names on that site hah

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for this,

I've found a small bunch of trees in East Australia which I think may be Acacia. Please can you help identify? Nevertheless, it was a really nice walk of they turn out to be another species entirely :lol:

First 4 not an acacia, the last 2 look like acacia but not too sure what they are.

Howdy!
I went for a little stroll today, actually looking for mushrooms and stumbled across this acacia.
It's just starting to go into flower so hopefully someone can help ID it,
Thanks in advance

Im not too sure looks like floribunda or longissima, great photos! Thats the standard needed for a good ID, and maybe a close up where the phyllode meets the stem too.

 

[kubizm]

I'll grab the photo for you now,
Thanks man! :thumb_up:

 

[kubizm]

Here ya go man!

 

[kubizm]

Are those photos good enough?
If not I'll get more tomorrow, already taken then phyllodes off the stems.

But looking at the peduncle, it looks like a Floribunda, or am I looking at the wrong thing?

 

[kubizm]

Walking to the shops I came across another acacia.
It looked similar to the last one I posted pics of until I got some close up pics.
Looks a little different to the last one.
Again any help would be massively appreciated! :thumb_up:

I found this bushwalking in SW Sydney. Only took one good picture. We were taking herbs, so we weren't the best photographers. Is this an Acacia? I still gathered about 100g of twigs.

Hey everyone,

I am looking for an ID on an Acacia found in New Zealand.

Location was in the far north which is subtropical. This was growing pretty much on the beach close to a bunch of aloe vera plants. So it was growing out of a very sandy soil mix and prone to very salty air.

The shrubs only grew about 1.5-2m high at max and had very reddish twigs. I hope that I can get an ID and that it is something worth working with in the future! The plants are a good 5 hours drive from me and I took only photos as per usual 8)

Here are the pics:

Hello fellow swimmers

I have been hanging around the Nexus for a couple of years now, never contributed but i have learned very much indeed. My interest since getting into the world of psychedelics has been focused on Mushrooms then Mescaline containing Cacti, which i am now extracting with the help of some the brilliant minds on this forum :thumb_up:
Anyhow of late i am extremely interested in further exploring DMT and 5-meO-Dmt, both to experience them and to find a reliable local source of plants to extract from.

First i,ll be testing a few different Delosperma sp that grow wild here with a/b tek with xylene as np for pulling full spectrum.
To the question, i am also very keen on trying a few of the Acacia sp which grow here.
Could anyone with expertise in this area please help with the identification of the following Acacia samples, 1,3 and 4 look similar.

Plant 1

Plant 2 [ thinking acacia saligna?]

Plant 3

Plant 4

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post this, was confused as to weather i should post here or under plant analysis and testing

 

[kubizm]

I'm no good at IDing, but there's an Acacia Identification thread in this section (collaborative research project)

Good luck :thumb_up:

 

[sega]

Thanks hey
I checked that thread out, should i repost pics there? i am pretty confident i have identified two of them but i'd just like to hear from someone with experience as assurance.
Also after simmering first delosperma batch[prefrozen] in acidic water then straining i got a grapefruit juice coloured liquid which turned to a bright strawberry milkshake pink when reduced, anyone heard of such a thing?

 

[sega]

Nobody? Hows this
I am going to extract and test them anyway[phylodes and twigs] just want id for research purposes. I will post results, yields, self test and methods of extraction, i just want to see if anybody is interested. Seems not?
I am based in South Africa btw and these acacias are growing around me in the Western Cape.
A lot of other sp which look promising and i will post these along te way.
There are big eradication projects here to remove kilometers of Acacia Saligna forest, so endless source of itin huge amounts :surprised
