Nice find Earthwalker I've been looking for the a. maidenii for quite some time now!

Any ideas on this one?

I actually planted these about 10 years ago as a part of a regeneration program around some local man made
wetlands(long before I had any idea) and there thriving now. There's a couple of different species down there but I was sitting under this one's shade so took a couple of (crappy phone) pics.

Cheers

Well thank you Halfhead but I can't take all the credit .................

.....but if you keep being a good boy I might even give you the location !!!! Lol

Indeed I'll find more locations soon enough! I've got a lot of possible areas. The less human traffic, the better.

Could someone please confirm id on these two for me?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if 1 of these is usable? I bought a few books to check for myself but it turns out Acacias are a little tricky for me

..am a bit pressed for ID time...will ponder those very interesting samples --Shadow when i get a chance...

as for 'useable' marc, that's not a straightforward question, and requires some use of google and the nexus

Sorry.. still a strawberry as you can see...
Looking for alkaloids for mind expansion..
There are soo many plants here that look like the ones I see here.. but some dont have the hair or the leaves or have when it shouldnt for what Im looking for.
Ill work on my vocabulary.. Thanks very much
Thank you Shadow

You shoudnt give up so easily.
Which books did you buy? There have been a few helpful ones mentioned in the thread. Also worldwidewattle has a great by area search feature.

Usually in books they are also sectioned off into areas so you can at least flick through the relevant sections looking for look-a-likes. Note these down.
Then you can look through the pictures and look for similar looking seed pods (the most unique part of an acacia I believe) If no pods to compare look for similarities of bark structure and phyllode arrangement/size/shape.
If your specimen is in flower check in your shortlist for species with the same flowering times.
Check for similarities of gland arrangements and or position.
Same for flower arrangement, structure and colour.

To look specifically for active acacia look at the list and then see if any of them are in your area using worldwidewattle. If there is one study it in detail know its features and distinguishing parts then use the internet or local resources to search its distribution. Go for a drive with firm knowledge of what you are looking for.

Actually giving up hasnt happened.. Just looking for more knowledge I dont possess.
The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants:
Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide
Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide: A Handbook for Psilocybin Enthusiasts
The rest are in pdf form that are in excess of 50 .. swim has done a few extractions but to no avail on reaping spice. Even go to the point where after adding the NOAH the TB got blod red... but nothing to draw off of it.
Thanks
Marc

Those books are nothing to do with acacia I dont see your point here sorry. I was just giving you a start in how to narrow down the id of a certain plant as to whether they are 'usable'or not. Your link doesnt work by the way.

I have this lovely plant bought from a roadside stool when you mist it it sometimes gives off a fantastic fragrance does anyone know what it is?

Hello Nexians!

I have been scanning my surrounding for a usable sample of acacia Karoo, I am choosing this sp as it is literally every second tree in my area, this tree is all over the place and I cannot find much info regarding this sp and its activity.

This is my final specimen but before I proceed I'd like the opinions from the community. Can anyone confirm that it is indeed a. karoo? I have seen two variations of this tree around, some have white long thorns and the some don't. By what I am noticing I think its due the age difference (young trees have thorns and older ones don't)

Peace

Lovely find! Some of those pictures are great. I would have said obtusifolia based on the 'veins' in the phyllodes. Rough and in all directions. A great find! I'll be going searching for some this coming week should be fun!

And I completely agree with dr Sway. Too many fools will destroy the beautiful trees!

Did you get any photos of the seed pods and seeds?

Pretty shaw he ain't gunna answer you about the seed pods bro , this was 2010 !

Fantastic pictures of a beautiful tree! If anyones reading this please have a heart and dont brutalise the trunk or roots and threaten the species even more just prune a branch the % is more than good enough to extract.
Ask yourself do you really want to contribute to a species downfall for your own curiosity?...

Hi Everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have a few Acacias and am hoping to get an opinion from yourselves. Shame its not flowering time to make this easier. I do recall seeing these tree flower classic yellow blooms.

Any ideas what I have here? Im in South East QLD. Im very green with ID's but it could be :

Acacia falcata
Acacia longifolia
Acacia auriculiformis

Would certainly prefer to get your opinion before unnecessarily pruning and going to the trouble of a fruitless preparation.

Many thanks,
Matt

Ive got a similar picture but im fairly sure yours isnt a.longifolia they dont have curves phyllodes iirc...im leaning towards melanoxylon for both http://www.worldwidewatt...sgallery/melanoxylon.php
but I must say yours looks a good tyryptamine candidate its those red margins that a few active species have in common.
Yours actually looks like it has some obtsusifolia characteristics with serated edges and blunt tips.

Hey guys hoping for an id on some acacias from southern vietnam. My friend says this about them, im not entirely sure on i.d's

First lot possible acacia Angustissima

The big trees I reckon are either the Acacia Auriculiformis, Acacia Longfolia or the acacia Mangium or even the Acacia Maidenii

The small one could be Acacia Seyal, Acacia Nilotica, Acacia Constricta, Acacia Concinna or Acacia Farnesiana.
