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 ?

cheers

Thanks jetflux.
I checked a phyllode from that tree by tlc back in August and sadly it had nothing.
Will check it again in late summer.

That doesn't look like an acacia to me. What it does look similar to is a Melaleuca, specifically quinquenervia. I'm sure someone could give you a better answer, but I hope this helps.
 
Greetings. I stumbled across this yesterday. I'm wondering if the picture below gives enough information for a positive identification?

Thanks!

Eventually I'll be able to post up pictures of the seed pods. It's been suggested that these are Australian willow? I've got to do more research into this.
 
Any ideas? Found in Vic.

Nen, I'm from Saudi, I have read your article about [Sacred Trees..and Total Trees...& Acacias]
was wondering if you could point me to the Acacia in the region.
Many Quranic verses mentioned the Acacia, one of which, that Allah shaded his prophet Muhammad and his followers ~1400 under a huge Acacia tortilis.
 
So yesterday morning I ran into this tree growing by its lonesome self, I spent hours going over it with the Acacia Confusa Identification article lol.. Then A couple hours later I run into A bunch of young trees that seemed to be identical to the one I ran into earlier. But it’s just to hard for me to believe that they are all Confusa lol.

It looks like you MAY be on to a confusa. I'd want to see the trunk before I say anything more. Please do not destroy this tree, if you do not know how to ethically harvest, I urge you to research this before you think of touching the tree/s.

Respect the trees and they will respect you!
 
Lol, yeah the single one is A Confusa. I’m A Gardener/Grower And I’ve been working at A nursery every summer for the past 10-13yeard. Thank you for your input/reply though. I try to do a lot of research on any new Hobby I take up ,

Sooo.. The person who owns the property saw me inspecting the Single Confusa.. he came over and talked to me about it, after telling him what tree it was and how it’s considered to be one of the most invasive trees/seeds that had been introduced here. He has given me permission to get rid of it if I want to in A couple days after he makes sure it’s actuallh Acacia Confusa and not Acacia Koaia. If it is A Koai’a he will pay for it to be removed and I’m allowed to have any bark anywhere on the tree and the roots. He will try to salvage the good areas to give to A friend that will make multiple things..

But nobody really knows contents of Koaia right? OH and if anyone can give input on the trees in the other pictures that would be awesome!! I’ve also finally found the area of old dead Confusa behind the few live ones left from being planted many years ago.
 
Any help identifying
Thankyou

~Mr.Smiley

Given the trees pale globular flowers, wide phyllodes with 5 prominent veins and rounded tips as well as curved seed pods, I would say you have an A. Melanoxylon. However, I don't know your location, so this ID may be incorrect. I advise jumping over here, pay particular attention to the bottom of page 5.

I am not sure if your images have uploaded correctly, I can't see them, I can just see the image name.
