Hi all,

Im looking for help identifying the following acacia below.

1. Found in NSW South Coast (Approx. 2 Hours south of Sydney)


2. Same tree, photo of the tree itself


3. Also found in NSW South Coast (Approx. 2 hours south of Sydney)


4. Found near tree 1 and 3


5. Sydney, near highway


6. Sydney, near highway as well


7. NSW South Coast - Young Obtusifolia?


8. NSW South Coast

3 is A.Longifolia (DMT)
7 is A.Obtusifolia (DMT)
5 MIGHT be A.maidenii (DMT, but please leave it alone, endangered)
1,2,6,8 is some type of desmanthus (dmt containing from memory)

you are lucky, if you do harvest, take a branch or part of a whole branch. use a cleaned knife/saw, and do a clean cut without tearing strips off the part you are cutting from. then you can proceed with stripping the outter bark of that branch with a knife. congrats 3 or 7 is your best bet in my opinion, both good yielding confirmed species.

edit: then ofcorase you are going to have to dry the bark and cut it up somehow, im in the process myself of figuring out how im going to get it to powder without buying a blender of some sort

since learning a bit more about ID.... please ignore my approximations. the only one im sure about it the longifolia, the first one miight be a mimosoid of some sort, maybe teniflora but i dont know much outside of inland species of WA.
