Any help in identifying these would be much appreciated. This first group of tree/shrubs I only had a glance at while driving by about 1 month ago. On closer inspection I am not so sure that they are acacia species, but I'd wager that they are an Ausise plant- [img:60bedce401]http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/3534/img2087jk7.jpg[/img:60bedce401] [img:60bedce401]http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8121/img2090qw2.jpg[/img:60bedce401] [img:60bedce401]http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/6459/img2091ti2.jpg[/img:60bedce401] This image displays the foliage as well as I could get it, my confusion about whether or not these are acacia came when I got a close look at the foliage, phylode? or leaf?

[img:60bedce401]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/7862/img2106ki0.jpg[/img:60bedce401] I have two more groups of plants and a couple of randoms, a couple of which I'm sure are acacia of some kind, but I could use help in propperly IDing them. It will take me a minute to post them
 
I dont think this is an acacia, but the phylodes caught my eye as I walked by on my way to another group of trees...

These are intermingled with the last stand of acacia, there are no leaves just green stems with seed podson the ends, strange- [img:d29d837b85]http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1618/img2160co1.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1255/img2159nj7.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7308/img2158hl0.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/770/img2157gg4.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/2568/img2156ps2.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8549/img2155lo9.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4651/img2147ex1.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/1427/img2146er9.jpg[/img:d29d837b85] [img:d29d837b85]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6349/img2145qt4.jpg[/img:d29d837b85]

One of the problems I've had in identifying plants is that often, there will be a couple of pictures of 1 single plant and they aren't usually explicit photos, so I put up a few of each type. Thanks for helping me to ID these foriegn plants
 
Oh Mama!! That beefcake trich is very impressive,I wish I was living in a climate where I could grow all these outdoors,but I'm stuck in Montreal Canada,Frozen wasteland half of the year.
