Botany Acacia and Mimosa Identification Thread

[nen888]

^..yeah acacian's on the money there, i'd say..

holiday..it's hard to see in the photos if the flower remains are spike or ball..if spike then it's likely maidenii, though it's pods are often more coiled..area helps..if ball, then probably melanoxylon..

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum - only my second post. I'm also quite new to 'attempting' to identify Acacia species. I hail from far west NSW, Broken Hill to be exact and have recently come across a number of Acacia species that grow out this way.
Unfortunately I am not very good at Identifying plant species, so am hoping for some help in Identifying these species that I have taken photos of. Sorry for the volume of photos I am about to post, I am hopeless at figuring out what species they are by myself. If anyone needs more photos of certain parts of each plant, let me know and I will go out and take more photos.

while the first tree looks very similar to an acacia i think it might not be due to the style of flowers.. the second is a species of bottle brush - the third tree is acacia iteaphylla and the fourth seems to be acacia victoreae.. one of them looks like a shorter phyllode variant - for the medicine I assume you are seeking acacia victoreae is a worthy candidate .. there has been one finding of dmt in victoreae confirmed by bioassay

Thanks for the reply Acacian, so do you think trees four through six may be variations of the same species? I just realised tree seven is Acacia Rigens, as there was a sign under another Acacia Rigens close by that had the species name on it.
Also, the first tree apparently has some sort of problem that causes a number of larger phyllodes to grow wavy, like in the photo. All the flowers from that tree are on the ground after the forceful winds last week, so I'll take a photo of the grounded flower mass to see if it can help identify if it is an Acacia species or not.

A bit of info for acacia enthusiasts attached..

 

[Barrettium]

Is anyone able to identify what type of Acacia this is? I found it hidden behind one of the A.iteaphyllas in the front yard. The pods in the top right hand side of the first photo are from the A.iteaphylla that the tree is hidden behind.
The phyllodes are somewhat thick (slightly thicker than the cardboard from a panadol box), with parallel veins.

Hi team,
Need the following two trees identified. The second tree appears to be a mimosa.
Found in South Australia

 

[acacian]

Hey ..your first tree is Acacia Pycnantha and the second mimosa-like one appears to be Paraserianthes lophantha..

 

[TRIBUNAL]

I had to make an account here to see if anyone could help identify this acacia that started growing in my veg garden a few years ago. It has not gotten flowers like I see on some of them as far as I know. I thought it was a fern at first but it seems I was wrong.
Every year the leaves die in the fall, but it comes back in the spring.
I noticed at night the leaves sort of curl up a bit then reopen when the sun comes out.

I could be wrong tribunal but I dont think its an acacia tree.

 

[The Unknowing]

I'm guessing these are Acacia Pycnantha?
Any confirmation?

 

[DreaMTripper]

Looks like it to me but I am no expert.

I believe these are also a.pycnantha..

 

[Stainer]

Kindly anybody could identify this plant? acacia tortilis?

I've come across a few new acacia species that I haven;t been able to ID, hoping someone can help me pin them down.
Acacia 1

Acacia 2

Acacia 3

Acacia 4

Acacia 5

Cheers,

Wondering if anyone can help me ID what appears to be an Acacia tree? I see a lot of these trees in Southern California. Ive attached a couple pictures... hope they're helpful. Thanks!

 

[The Unknowing]

These look like the Acacia Cyclops maybe?
Any suggestions?

Hello guys i found this
1. http://tinypic.com/r/261genr/5
2. http://tinypic.com/r/2vvkys7/5
but i am lil confuse about the species after reading the List of Acacia species from wiKi --> List of Acacia species known to contain psychoactive alkaloids - Wikipedia


please can anyone help me to identify the plant

 

[acacian]

Barretium - Acacia 1 looks like acacia saligna.. not sure what the rest are but they are very interesting looking trees. where abouts in aus are you?

Innervoyages.. yours is actually a species of bottle brush

OneEyeAscension.. yours looks like a form of longifolia.. I think probably acacia sophorae which is a coastal form (though by many considered another species in its own right)

 

[EST4L]

Hello! Been lurking for quite a while now. This tree has me stumped, I've looked everywhere for an I.D with no luck. I will be trying an extraction on this, but just wanted to see if I could get an ID before I start. Thanks in advance, if anyone needs more pictures please ask and I will deliver!
