Botany Acacia and Mimosa Identification Thread

[Autocultivo]

leratiomyces

To me it looks like it could be A.Flori but you need to take closer photos of the basal gland or the lack of and check other characteristics for yourself... such as flower spikes/rods protruding from the ends of branches, otherwise typically in sets of 2 and 'clustering' anatomization of the veins interconnecting between the main 1-3 (never seen one without 3 veins that I believed was a good variety) phylode width length, flower rods and formations. There's a website that has detailed information and closeup sketches of all the acacia sp. The sites name fails me currently sorry, been a while

I happened to post a photo (above) of phylodes/flowers of a cultivated A.Flori. That's the sort of tree I'd look at and assume would kick back. no basal, mutated lodes, leathery, 3 veins, appropriate bloom time and of course the prominent red coloration especially pronounced during flowering and in the veins of the phylodes. None necessarily define activity, but the more 'common positive traits' combined within the single specimen, typically raise your odds.

goodluck

Thanks for your reply autocultivo.

I was just after someone's opinion as to whether it looked liked floribunda, as that was what I was thinking. So thanks for your partial confirmation.
The characteristics are a fair match with those described on world wide wattle.
Mine have 3 prominent veins, with the centre vein being far more prominent than the outer two veins. There are about 10 secondary veins with anastamoses. Stipules absent, gland absent, bracteoles absent. Petal numbers per flower is impossible for me to determine with my level of magnification (supposed to be 4). WWW says sepals are united, but by the time the flower has completely emerged, they do not look united to me - that's the main difference to the WWW description.

oh, by the way, none of the foliage has red tips. None the less, come Feb, I will collect some fallen phyllodes and proceed.

Hi all, I'd like an ID confirmation on these Acacias please.

I was confident they were both Acuminata but three separate extraction attempts over the last month have yielded nothing. The extractions were on; 250 grams of dried twigs (separate specimen not pictured here), 50 grams of dried twigs (tree A), and 50 grams of fresh twigs (tree B / fallen tree), all done using Earthwalkers tek: ACRB TEK 100g "PICS" (Newbie Friendly) - A/B - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

I also created a thread seeking suggestions as to why my extraction hasn't yielded anything in the FAQ subforum: Where did I go wrong in my extraction? - FAQ - All your basic questions and answers - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

In the process of figuring this all out, I'm beginning to accept the growing likelihood that these aren't Acuminata

Thanks!

Yep, that's it. 100%

notice the blunt tips which are slightly serated. (obtusifolia is also called "Blunt Tip wattle")

The big spaces in between phyllodes.

The stiffness and thickness of the phyllodes.

The obvious anastomisation. (nerve network which in which the nerves meet each other)

Looks like someone has been doing some pruning?

If you can get away with it, this is the best way to approach harvesting from this tree. Taking bark from the trunk will often kill the tree :-(

Whereabout did you find this tree?

Also, try collecting a few hundred grams of flowers and doing some extractions on them and let us know how you go! They should be active and have a really nice quality to them!

Hello Nexii

I'm in Northern California and I see a lot of these trees, locally called "mimosa". I'm hoping someone can help me ID them. I've scrolled through the thread but haven't seen a similar purple/violet flowered tree. I can get closer shots if needed. This is my first time uploading images on the nexus, hope it works right. Thanks for the help, any comments are appreciated!

I am tryng to attach plant foto with telephone

 

[DreaMTripper]

None of these look like acacia trees.

 

[Ulim]

So I found this acacia tree in my back yard.

Black locust

OP is from over 4 years ago. New members can post in the Acacia identification thread as well.

 

[NISMAS]

Another one

 

[NISMAS]

Seeds on the left. On the right is previos one.
This ones flowers look like from avatar)

 

[NISMAS]

another one similar but beans longer.

 

[NISMAS]

one more but no flowers or beans yet. as i can see the flowers will be long not round

 

[NISMAS]

With big leaves

 

[NISMAS]

And this i forgot name drago smth has no dmt i think

 

[NISMAS]

in another place the same one

 

[NISMAS]

this one i thought is the same which i found half year ao but the beans is different.

leratiomyces - definitely A.FLoribunda and appears to be the more active of two types..one having whiter, fuller, fluffier flowers with longer pointier phyllodes like your photo. The other seemingly more common type has much shorter and tighter spaced phyllodes.

It seems to be the case with Floribunda though that most cultivated species found in urban areas are very low to negligible yield ...whereas wild-native species like this one found in the bush are more likely to be active.

Thanks limolords for sharing your extensive knowledge of Acunminata species - I had grown a few Burketii before and they were labelled as thin-leaf Acunminata so this would explain my confusion there. Also got some seeds labelled A. Neurophylia...is this another sub-species of Acuminata ?
