what did you find the yield to be like with the floribunda you had success with? did you notice slightly wider phyllodes?
Sorry for the delayed response
Bricklaya, I managed to find a small sample of the floribunda (mentioned above) that I kept for a herbarium sheet. Looking at the phyllodes again they are certainly what I would call shorter than most of the pictures I have seen but not really wider. They are on average 7 -8 cm long and 6-7 mm wide.
"Phyllodes linear to narrowly lanceolate, 5–19 cm long, 1.5–12 mm wide, acute and often mucronulate, thin and pliable, with 1–3 primary veins, the secondary veins 6–10, parallel, anastomosing; gland absent; pulvinus present." -
Acacia floribunda - WATTLE
The photo below is the sample I kept.
The yield was approx .02 - .03 – plenty of oils – more the merrier! (See photo below)
Gowpen very happy to hear you had a pleasant experience on your first proper launch. Next time your "there" ask the questions you mentioned you had been having. Works for me
Seldom launching with fellow nexians is most excellent, very nice bricky and Sel.:d

also if bitterness is an indicator of the presence of alkaloids acacia implexa is worth checking. it's another one used traditionally on burns which i think is a good sign, and is also used to stun fish.
When you say used in burns what does that entail?
Nen88 since you posted the leaf burn test months ago it’s become a routine habit and I always notice that spicy smell on particular phyllodes. Many of my friends disagree however, maybe only some noses know.
And finally I had to include this image of a baby, high tryptamine, maidenii that I planted the other day.¬¬
So Nexians be well, keep learning and single leaf burning.
