Is this a Mimosa Hostilis leaf?

[3rdI]

I just need a quick ID of this leaf

Im planning to incorperate a mimosa hostilis leaf into a tatto design and i obviously need to make sure its the correct leaf.

Im pretty sure it is but there is a few diferent types of Mimosa plants and i dont want to get the wrong one

Cheers

well you cant really make an ID from that picture..but it is close enough. Could be another species though.

Hi Jamie, it wasn't so much this exact leaf, it was more the shape and arrangement of its leaves. I searched online and came up with mostly this type of leaf but there were also some leaves from different types of mimosa plant with different shapes, some were a single larger leaf.

If I get it inked then it needs to be corrrect.

Now time to find a decent vine image.

Cheers

Most of the plants in the mimosa genus have that type of leaves.That pic could be another of species, but thats how the leaves of mimosa tenuiflora look.

but thats how the leaves of mimosa tenuiflora look.

This was my concern, i know this sounds stupid but are MH and MT the same plant? I wikipedia'ed MH and it redirected me to MT.

Yes they are.It's latin name used to be mimosa hostilis, but it has changed to mimosa tenuiflora.

Taxonmy is weird like that. New developments come out and classifications shift.
