Hello folks.

Not had much luck getting help with identification of this tree. Just to be clear, I'm obviously hoping this is maidenni. I'm in the right area and it does fit the description.

Please note, the pictures are cropped by the board, they are actually larger (as in, there is more to the picture - not that it is displayed smaller). To view you can always rightclick and select view image.







I think in the end I'm going to have to do a test extract to be sure.

Thanks for looking

 

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

Test extraction is the way to go. When i started looking, and knew it was in the area i just got some bark from all the different varieties that seemed likely.

Even if it is maidenii your unlikely to get much/any of the d. Much better off spending your efforts on finding obtusifolia which has reliable and good yields.

I don't think Obtus will be easy to find in s.east queensland.

It looks like maidenni but probably isn't. It is in flower right now and maidenni has finished flowering. Someone on the shaman australis site has put forth that it is probably Acacia aulacocarpa.

It does.

However I think it fails on a few factors

Whilst not very well captured, the leaves are not particularly smooth or glossy, they are also what I would describe as "gray-green" coloured.

Maidenni appears to be much more green and smooth. It also seems to be much closer to straight leaf than the sample trees I have observed.

These leaves also have a consistent 3 main veins, which puts it in target of

http://plantnet.rbgsyd.n...p;lvl=in&name=Acacia~disparrima+subsp.~disparrima
http://plantnet.rbgsyd.n...p;lvl=sp&name=Acacia~aulacocarpa

Flowers seem to be 1-2 per axle.


I'm still open to the possibility it is but I'm almost certain I've got myself something along the lines of those two.
