found this acacia tree in my back yard. any thoughts on what it might be?

not sure what you've got there ... but may I say you have a gorgeous backyard!

Indeed!

Noticed another tree on my way home last night, they are everywhere! Any ideas? Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae?

Hi All,

I have snapped some pics of several Acacias today.

The first one appears to be A. floribunda except for the lack of flowers for which it is named. Almost all flowers were developed but they were very sparse on the tree. no basal gland, narrow phyllodes, creamy light lemon flowers. The whole tree was infested with galls so perhaps this is the cause of the lack of flowers or perhaps it is not floribunda. Interestingly the small branchlet with the flowers had different sized and shaped phyllodes than the rest of the tree.
Also interesting is that the galls all had hairs like on the branchlets and phyllodes.



The next photos are from the same tree and it represents 99% of what is on the tree. You can see how vastly different the phyllodes are from the previous photo with flowers.




The next ones i believe to be possibly A. mucronata spp. longifolia or floribunda but am not sure.
It has an abundance of rod flowers and the phyllodes are erect and running along the branch. Again no basal gland, rods, narrow long phyllodes.





This last one also required ID but again i am leaning towards A. mucronata or A. floribunda




Any help in whether i am correct or wrong on the above ID's will be greatly appreciated.

Time of day? Wow the plot thickens!

Edit: any idea what this one is my little handbook came up with no answers!

The tree that I posted a few pics from here mis-labeled as longifolia has flowered so here's a few pics in case anyone has any ideas as to what it may be.

The flowers are not as pale as these pics indicate.

Hi guys was just wondering if anyone could verify which species of acacia this is? and a tek that would be suitable for extracting the DMT any help would be appreciated thanks guys

i believe it helps to state your general area, so it is known what grows there

Sorry, Im in South East Queensland Australia its just coming into spring too!

ahem...

Acacia Identification Thread
https://www.dmt-nexus.me...osts&t=33648&p=2

I came across this wattle this morning walking along a beach after all but giving up on finding an active species and couldn't ID it. I'v searched through the anbg (Australian Botanical National Gardens) site and haven't found an exact match. I think it could be an Acacia floribunda but I'm unsure. Any help would be greatly appreciated

..thanks bindu ...very good advice..

it's A. fimbriata btw


ps EDIT: thanks endlessness for moving that thread to here..

thesearcher..no photo..?

Hieronymous..what makes you certain it's not A. longifolia?..it fit's within the broad definition (unless i've missed something) ..incidentally many botanists believe var Sophorae should be a separate species (as it once was)
..

one of your pics re-attached below..fairly Longifoliaish to me..

..acacias can be grown from cuttings, but can be tricky..
see Cultivation of Acacias by M. Simmons in the Top 8 Acacias to Grow Worldwide Thread

..Vitalstatistix..hi..the last one i'd say is A. mucronata.., the 2nd last probably floribunda or a cross between it and mucronata, as you theorise..
the 1st specimen (pics1-3), due to the flower shape, looks like it's in the A. acuminata/burkitti complex..pods would narrow this..

all great and interesting for research looking specimens..

super (previous page) ..
..good advice..

Thanks nen I was starting think the same thing now it's flowered.

There were a few things that seemed out of place.
It was mainly the narrow phllyodes. The endemic longifolias in my area are a lot different to that one - broader phyllodes and a different growth habit, they also have much longer flower rods.

I know longafolias aren't very high in alkaloids but it might be worth investigating, it grows quicker than any Acacia I've ever seen.

Cheers mate

^..some varieties of Longifolia are moderately high in alkaloids..say 0.3-0.5%..stems..
