yeah I've been and seen the "floribunda" at the botanic gardens..beautiful tree..surprisingly though they mislabled it and its actually acacia maidenii. coiled pods are a good confirmation and you'll notice when it flowers again that its flowering habit is nothing like that of floribunda

not sure about the 2nd tree being a strain of pycnantha or not.. would be good to see more photos

last one is a form of acacia melanoxyn

Hi all need help with I.D

sorry bit more info in Melbourne Australia, of all the acacias I have come across the leaves are the darkest green fell in love with it as soon as I seen her

I believe thats retinodes or saligna marshman http://www.florabank.org.../html/Acacia_saligna.htm when you find out let us know! They do have a seductive mysterious vibe! Ive seen many on roadsides. I have suspicions it can hybridize with a.pycnantha..

will do thanks for quick reply

acacia experienced people only...

swim has been doing some primary test's into the content levels of acacia's in swim's area (south east Queensland Australia).

swim has just taken (regretfully)a sample of A. Maidenii x A. Longifolia bark (85% sure of correct identification)(approx age 8 yrs)swim did the usual (take a strip from either side from 1 n a half feet up to about 2-3 inches from the ground) an as per always the thin strips (as swim never dig's hard rather shave til swim get's close to the slimey bark layer(live bark)) resembled mhrb strip just thinner.

unfortunately swims knife slipped and got under the live bark level tearing a big section of bark from the tree (as to why swim regret's it now as swim did permanent damage to this tree) and reveling the most interesting live bark. instead of its usual white/yellow/creamy/brown slimey looking live bark you expect swim was confronted by this blood red area (patch only no bigger than a adult hand (approx))

this area of living bark had quite a different feel/texture than the other live bark in the area. and was more than resinous (which was quick to dry on swim's fingers as swim worked removing the area in question.

now without any unhelpful attitudes or misinformation (as i seen it around a bit) will this be fine to use and would swim be correct in their assumption that it is of a higher alkaline content that the rest??

next question is off topic slighty how ever we are still talking about an acacia ex.( cooked A-B- ether / heptane mix, with naptha washes)so with that in mind this ex. has emulsified on swim to which swim:

1 added more lye (unsuccessful)
2 took temp higher an gently stirred then let sit (unsuccessful)
3 added more lye at temp to allow over saturation in aqua layer (slight success yet not enough)
4 added sea salt at temp(swim knows, an yet here swim is with swim's head down asking for help)(worked very quickly)

beautiful.......... wait wtf is that swim notices, there seems to be jelly xtals forming in the ether/heptane at room temp (wtf) thought it might be a carry thru of salt or lye (as what else could these white smokey xtals b) swim made a slight base mix ph approx 8-10 (to keep the goodies in the ether) added the ether to this base an immediately noticed slight ripples in the aqua layer as though something was devolving in to the aqua layer success gently mixed until the saturation level was reached (ph14 measurement confirmed this) not completely gone tho so swim 3/4 emptied the aqua layer and refilled with hot water to allow for a greater sat. point. same results better but not gone repeated the process again an now have a aqua layer with a ph 0f 7 and still the over saturated look to the ether (if that makes sense) so swim has water washed as much lye an salt from the mix as possible...

does anyone have any constructive advice? has swim carried something thru or does swim have super spice from spain in there?

hey bloke, most people here wont comment on this as it is lacking a lot of information like location for a start.... shame really cause the tiniest amount of advise from some of these guy could stop some noobs from smoking some bad shit... but in saying that do the research yourself just google images til your confident you can make a correct identification

that or post it in the actual acacia identification thread

Gday everyone i have some photos that i need some help with to identify if they are active or not thanks everyone, also the season for psilocybin cubensis mushrooms has started here in nsw found some yesterday if anyone was wondering i have been searching for weeks

anyone

These pics where all from around mid north coast NSW if that helps can anyone confirm any of these to be Acacia maidenii

only because you posted these at the corroboree aswell, under the name goinpiggn420 (!!!), i will help as much as i can: first three come from from subgenus 'plurinerves', next 2 have phyllode and growth habit of acacia melonoxylon, 7th from the top may be acacia longifolia, next looks like Acacia penninervis, falcata, falciformis or a related species, and second last photo may be acacia longifolia.

Don't eat the mushroom!

There was a goinpiggen on the nexus a few weeks back, forgotten your password aussietripper?

thanks heaps, why do you say not to eat the mushroom

because if your not sure of their i.d and eat them you could get very sick

no i am sure its a psilocybin cubensis i have picked hundreds over the years it had the veil bruised blue as soon as picked and it did not have white gills

hi everyone i have been out for a nice drive today in the mountains and have come across a acacia i think could be obtusfolia they are situated in one area only that i could find that is at an altitude of 310.69m from what i can see phyllodes have mainly 2-3 primary veins and are linear to narrowly elliptic, phyllodes have red resins on sides i could not find any seed pods, glan is about 8-9mm from bottom of petiole, pulvinus is present, these plants where found on rocky ridgeline and way out of harms way and peoples vision, i have only just started trying to identify these plants so go easy with me whatever they may be they are sure a beautiful plant and deserve to be treated right

plant 2

plant 3
