Hi all,

So I have been looking around my area and discovered quite a few interesting acacia sp such as acacia karroo, acacia tortilis etc, but lately I've come across a few invader acacias in my area which I cannot identify.

There are two varieties posted here. Another variety will will be posted speculated to be acacia selinga (any info on dmt content perhaps?)

Both the specimens were collected in the Cape province of Southern Africa. None were flowering unfortunately but I did manage to obtain seeds from one variety.

Also any info yet on potential of dmt content in A. karroo and A.
caffra?

Thanks for any info,
Hypnotoad..

Hi Hypnotoad,

there is not much information on the nexus.wiki about the acacias you mentioned.
Acacia karroo
Acacia tortilis

Here is an Acacia karroo thread but it doesn't state a succeeding extraction.

There is however a thread about a succesful Acacia nilotica root bark extraction.

Hope i could Help

I tried A. karroo from every possible angle and it doesn't seem to yield anything at all.

We do have a staggering number of invasive Australian acacias putting a blight on our fair fynbos biome:

Acacia baileyana - Bailey’s wattle
Acacia cyclops - Rooikrans
Acacia dealbata - Silver wattle
Acacia decurrens - Green wattle
Acacia elata - Pepper tree wattle
Acacia implexa - Screw pod wattle
Acacia longifolia - Long leaved wattle
Acacia mearnsii - Black wattle
Acacia melanoxylon - Australian blackwood
Acacia paradoxa - Kangaroo wattle
Acacia podalyriifolia - Pearl acacia
Acacia pycnantha - Golden wattle
Acacia saligna - Port Jackson willow

If someone managed to isolate actives from, say, the Black Wattle or Port Jackson, you'd find me every weekend volunteering to chop out alien vegetation.

So I've been wondering around my area and found more species.

The more research I do the more uncertain I get about my judgement on these guys. All where found growing in sand dunes next to a massive dam. One variety is In flowers.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
