Botany Acacia and Mimosa Identification Thread

Growing logs with advice and results.
Migrated topic.
Hey everyone,

I was wondering if someone more knowledgable than myself could categorically identity this plant. I believe that it is an acacia pycnantha but am not 100% sure.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys wanted to get an id on this searched for while before finding somewhere that these plants were know to be of two species. A. Longfolia. And a. concurrens.
I am still new and searching so I hope that I can get an id on this tree found in searching Queensland.

To me it looks like Acacia colei but I am not an expert.
 
Hi all would love to get an id on these

Hi all. I understand people not wanting othwrs to go to places such as botanic gardens and state forest to find acacias or other plants of interest. I guess what im asking is theres very little information out there about someone who might want to find these trees but then u have people who do the research and go out looking to sustainably harvest some bark or branches but the issue i face is my lack of being able to properly identify such plants so people like me come here for help but when we come here the replys and help isnt around. Is there another forum that people are willing to help me id the plants ive found or am i mereley wasting my time to ask here??.
 
Friend, sorry for the lack of replies, I cannot help since I am no good with Acacia identification.. Most of our id experts are inactive these days but im sure if you wait a little bit, someone will chime in with knowledge.

I suggest you join sharetheseeds.me , awesome site both for getting plant knowledge, as well as exchanging seeds, I´d bet some good experts can help you out there.

Good luck and let us know if you do ID these plants and if you end up experimenting with extraction and/or bioassaying.
 
I kind of felt like I had missed the hay day of this forum as well, it seems the vast majority of posts and activity were well over a decade ago and it seems a bit stagnant now compared to what it used to be... that said it probably isn't a bad thing though with Big Brother being what it is. The more active forums that cover this genre are rife with immaturity and misinformation. When it comes to psychedelic discussions I'd take quality over quantity any day which is why I chose the nexus.

G'day,
Can't id for you, sorry. As the others said, the acacia id experts tend not to visit frequently. You might want to try the SAB Facebook group.
 
Been lurking for a little bit and I was wondering if anyone could any one could maybe help in identifying a plant I came across, I used another site to identify plants by location and some council records I came across this in one of my locations that I visitdd. And it kind of looks similar too the Maiden Wattle (Acacia maidenii) I am looking for. I believe it shouldn't be in flowering season but I am very unsure since I am not familiar in this area I was hoping someone could help identify what I found, Thank you.

Dear dmt-nexus forums,

After doing a bit of driving today I believe I may have found some kind of acacia possibly but not sure if it's an active and an extraction is worthwhile.

It was in a residential area close to a coastline in somebody's front yard.

Immediately caught my eye so had to snap a few pictures.

Regardless of it being active or not it's such a beautiful tree.

Acacia? Active or inactive?
 
Hi everyone, I’ve found some trees locally and am unsure of their species. I have seen another picture on this thread giving me the feeling it’s A. simsii, A. Miltisiliqua but could be something else. Located in SA by the way 😊

Can't help with those, sorry.
It's worth remembering that there are over 1000 species of Acacia in Australia, many of which only grow within relatively small areas of the country. People who have such expertise that they can readily jump in and identify any of them based on photos rather than examing plants first hand, are rare indeed. Most folks here who have some decent amount of experience identifying or trying to identify Acacias and other plants are likely to be only intimately familiar with the species that occur around where they live, or that they have cultivated themselves. Just based on non-macro photos - often not showing both flowers AND fruit (pods) - species from opposite ends of the continent can look rather similar, although they are different. Therefore it's to be expected that not all requests for an i.d. will be answered. The World Wide Wattle website should be able to help you narrow it down a bit when you have first hand access to study the plant you're trying to identify. You have to meet it half way though, and learn some plant anatomy as well as being alert to the various features that can distinguish one wattle species from a similar one.
By the way, a lot of good stuff has been said on these forums about not harvesting from the wild, but I would also ask people not to harvest without permission from plants in people's gardens, because you don't know if it is important to them or not. Sure, a lot of people who barely register plants as existing probably wouldn't give a shit if you trimmed their tree, except for being pissed on principle that you damaged their 'property'; but a lot of other people love and nurture their gardens, and would be very hurt by it, whether they are aware of the chemistry of the plant or not.
 
It’s in turkey marmara region. Wiki says this about climate around marmara.

The Marmara region has a hybrid mediterranean climate/humid subtropical climate on the Aegean Sea coast and the south Marmara Sea coast, an oceanic climate on the Black Sea coast and a humid continental climate in the interior. ... The coastal climate keeps the temperatures relatively mild.
