Thanks Sharps, new to this and definitely have respect for the plants. I saw the distribution map was eastward but was thinking there might be some sprinkled throughout the Perth burbs. I dont have a means of extraction right now anyhow as I am only in town for a few months, staying at the olds place. I might take a drive and do some bush treks  *** EDIT ! Just found out a friend has a 60 acre family property full of them Cant wait to go look

New Zealand ID needed! I just saw this gorgeous plant growing close to home. I am wondering if anyone can give me an ID on it. Sadly there are no flowers or pods on it at the moment. Some phyllodes are curved at the end while others are totally straight! Please let me know if you need any other information. I tried to get as much detail in the photos as possible!

floribunda , I'm not very familiar with NZ Acacia's. I initially thought it was A.auriculiformis , seed pods are a visible trait of them. Sorry I can't be of more help right now..

Thanks!
Is there any other parts I should photograph in order to have an ID on it?

Close up of phyllode to look for vein pattern and anastomisation, close up of the base of the stem and phyllode so any basal gland can be detected and a good picture of the trunk too so the bark can be classified.
I recommend checking out the lucid wattle key its a great resource that has loads of details however not all variants are needed to be selected for an id.

Hello everyone, I've spent a few days of acacia spotting in the bush areas of the mediterranean, and found this particular tree. I'm fairly certain she's an acacia but of what kind I could not determine. Any help in identifying her is greatly appreciated. Note: I am not interested in stripping/harvesting her. I found some pods (which is what i am after) that were still on her but no flowering at this time of the year.

I'm not an acacia expert, but these look a lot like the Robinia Pseudoacacia trees in my street. That was a bit of a disappointment after the initial joy...

When you say on your street, are you referring to these particular ones or just the species in general. Thanks for the fast response

Having searched on the pod, it seems the pseudoacacia you're referrring to has longer thinner pods? EDIT: OK I'm sure it's a Pseudoacacia you're mentioning. Thanks for your help.

Hello again!!! I have taken a couple more photos of the suspected A.Floribunda from the last page. Here are a few more pictures (and the original ones... Please let me know if you think it is a A.Floribunda! The other photos are of another species I found today. I have been looking at lots of photos and believe it may be A.Maidenii. I am not very sure though. Can you please do your best to ID them for me. Both of the plants are in the North Island of New Zealand! Beautiful plants! Thanks in advance for your kind help... floribunda attached the following image(s): Floribunda1.jpg (243kb) downloaded 102 time(s). Floribunda2.jpg (260kb) downloaded 102 time(s).

So the first five of those photos I am guessing is A.Floribunda
The next ones starting from the picture with the pen (to give an idea of phyllode size) are what I am guessing is A.Maidenii.
If you can tell me exactly what they are I am going to be uber happy with you all!
Namaste

Sorry to say it isnt floribunda, floribunda. Im not even sute its an acacia, the others are I think and Im guessing they are melanoxylon( wrong bark structure for maidenii)
Trashipeoulas you didnt say where they are but they look like saligna or a variant of a.retinodes however my knowledge of acacia is limited. Have patience Im sure someone will study them when they have time and reply with their opinion when they can.

Thanks DreaMTripper!
Very strange about the non floribunda. I have three store bought small ones that look so very similar to this one! I was under the impression that if there is no centre vein on the leaf/phyllode then it is an Acacia! I obviously have a lot to learn.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate it!

well Im not 100% sure it isnt its just that the phyllodes dont look like an extension of the branches but now I look closely at the last pic it seems to have an acacia look to it so I would wait for someone more knowledgeable to chime in before any conclusions are drawn.
