i have no specific medicinal or chemical information on it..perhaps someone does..
a great species to grow for it's distinctive phyllodes..
I've had 100% success rate with dunni seed germination, they seem very easy after an overnight soak in boiled water. I must say, the seeds are enormous! These are some sitting next to a. radolens (vanilla wattle).
