Come on man you've been around long enough to ID it yourself 😋, where do you find it, coastal or inland as it looks like
A.sophorae to me, or a.magnium.

Good evening everyone, it's been quite a while since I've been on the forums, my busy lifestyle has kept me away from doing my exploration and plant ID. I only happened to come across these by chance and got rather curious, being the middle of winter and most acacia are in full bloom, please help me confirm my suspicions, if not enough evidence I can take more photos.

It's either longifolia or sophorae, I thought it may have been obtus. But after looking at some reference pics in Google it doesn't have the long long phylodes even though it appears to have some jagged edges and the tubular flowers look too closely packed to be obtus. What do u think?

Hey guys does this look like baby floribunda? It has really narrow phyllodes though so I'm not sure if there's a narrow relative, or they widen as it matures. Cheers everyone in advance!!!

Astro84 that is obtusi , it's distinguished from longi by its uneven resinous margins and it's more pronounced veins.

i'm not so sure I agree that astro's tree is obtuse.. looks more like a form of longifolia that may share genetic traits with obtuse (or maybe the blunt phyllodes were just occasional on the specimen?)... the nerve anastomy doesn't quite look like that of obtuse whilst the flowers seem too deep of a yellow. obtuse won't be in flower till the summer either so if the pic is recent then its longifolia

looks very similar... what is the texture of the phyllodes? can be easily confused with mucronata.

On second look the last photo of a single phyllode does have straight looking margins like longi..

Thanks for clearing that up, yes, photos were taken only a couple of weeks ago (mid winter) I dont know why I thought that Obtusifolia flowered in winter, perhaps I got confused with other varieties. oh well!

the search continues...

The are furry, little greyish hairs on them which I believe is a trait of floribunda? Please correct me if I am wrong, thankyou all for the wonderful help so far!

Thank you DreaMTripper and acacian! You both are a wealth of knowledge. Found an abundance of these in a plantation that's due to be cut down soon, the ones that have seeded on the roads will most likely be destroyed/cut down so i think ill try my hand at transplanting these. If I can't find any info on this I'll start a new thread soon. Thank you again.

Hi there, first day out exploring around my area for different acacias. I am West of Sydney up in the mountains. Thinking A.longfolia or possibly A.obtusfolia. Any help would be greatly appreciated Smile
Cheers.

Possibly longifolia? sydney golden wattle?Smile





obtusfolia?
noticed blunt tips on leaves.

Hey there guys, found a few of these beautiful trees down by the edge of a creek and was wondering if anyone could help with an I.D? Obtusifolia?

I'm not too sure to be honest its a grand old tree that's for sure! As far as I am aware I dont think longi grows that tall, looks like its 20m tall , but I could be wrong..

psilonaut I would say thats a.sophorae but again I'm not certain..

Good Evening everyone!

This is a long shot, but can anyone help ID this? This was taken in a quite area in Brisbane QLD. I know its an acacia but the closest I found to it in terms of phyllode look alike was an acacia complanata. It didn't have any flowers on it, so I know this will be difficult, all help is greatly appreciated!
