Cool bee:grin: on flower also this is a smaller one mixed in with overgrown grass there are a few really big ones I couldn't quite get to yet let me know thanks.

Also I know for a proper ID we need a mature pod which this one is just starting but do you have any ideas?
 
Hi, I got some shots of a local acacia in SE QLD (Australia), I do not think it is maidenii or obtusifolia because the seed pod seems quite flat and wide and it would be a stretch to see them in this area. Does anyone have enough expertise to assist me with identification?

Hi again, found another tree that looks promising, will be looking up more details but thought I would share it here in case anyone else can ID it, from SE QLD.

Hi Acacia lovers!

Could anyone help me identify the following Acacia? It's native to North East Thailand.

Apologies. Currently I only have two pictures, but may be able to get more if needed:

Thanks in advance,

Looks to be (Acacia Confusa) by the look of the leafs and pods but when is flowering season in Thailand everything looks right except the flowers arent in Bloom yet i am 80% sure its Acacia Confusa by the pics you posted in the research I did but im no expert.
 
Thanks marz.

This photo was taken back in January, I'll see if I can get another photo of what it looks like now, it might be flowering.

Would be a really lucky find if it was an AC!
 
Lovely pictures I'm still at the same conclusion and this os all based off the pictures of the pods and the pictures that you supplied and i used that in reference with Google Images the leafs look correct the bark on the trunk looks correct the pods are spot on also your location is abundantly full with those types of trees so i say its what you hope it is im pretty confident I am no expert but based on my findings im prety sure u got a dmt gold mine just wait for nen he would know 100% remember if it is don't go pulling bark off the trunk Harvest substantially dig and get root bark and take no more thean 40% and traditionally you offer to tree tobacco.

Thanks marz. Don't worry I won't be taking anything from these trees (I'm thousands of miles away), it'd just be nice to know they're the real deal :).

i think this is right for mimosa, acacia is different and will not grow back is root, so harvesting rootbark can be deadly for the tree. i based this information on what i being reading over here and i am no expert so please correct me if i wrong.

peace :)

I'm not sure either way to be honest. Either way my plan would be not to take any material from a live tree. My friend tells me that this forest is literally full of these trees and there are lots that have fallen naturally as it's on 'old' forest. He's already sent me some bark from one of the fallen trees there. An extract on that bark seemed to produce DMT / NMT (based on TLC testing), but it hasn't been bioassayed yet. I can post the TLC results if anyone wants to see them.

Odd that it's still not flowering, it's getting quite hot over there now.
 
If you are harvesting wild material DO NOT cut trunk, root, or branch bark off ANY tree. This can kill or permanently injure them.
Twigs, phyllodes, and dead branches only! They are gifts given readily to the observant forager.

Don't worry sphorange, we won't be doing that. It would be nice to get a positive ID on this tree though. Maybe it isn't an AC? If it were some other subspecies, with this alkaloid content it's well worth knowing about.
 
Dear FORGOTMYPEN

I think you might've been very lucky and stumbles upon some Confusa's. I've been looking far and wide for those and one of the key identifiers are the double veined leaves.

Let me know if you do any tests, would love to hear of your progress.

Love & Light
 
Hey guys. I see alot of these around, I think it might be mearnsii.

mearnsii have globular flower-heads, the pinnae colour suggests to me bailyana. Although it could also be decurrens or deansii
