hey guys I didnt think I could post here so made a thread in open discussion, sorry about that mods you could maybe delete that thread? just needing an i.d on confusa if possible.

Hey just came across the FAQ on plant id.s. Im not sure what acacia it is, im pretty sure it is an acacia and im in south vietnam. Sorry for lack of information just seen loads of stuff about acacia and its a bit overwhelming, any ideas of what my pic is would appreciated as they are everywhere. I know you get them in the forests here but this is more an urban area tbh there everywhere though, and some similiar looking ones to other acacias. Hopefully ill ge tmore time to get some more photos up as theres loads of trees around here, some I think yes but even then im not 100%, any ideas would be great guys thanks.

Hey all!
Always seen this tree's leguminous pods around my area but never noticed the racemes until yesterday.. it has an a.saligna look except the leaves are much longer for one. Btw, the pod in the picture is broken, the pods are usually double/triple that length.
Also hope to do some research on A.greggi var. greggi in the future. I've found some beautiful desert washes full of these friends.. much more thrilling finding them in their native habitat.

^..hi cavepaintings looks like Acacia stenophylla, which a few people think well worth investigating..

and : ) ..i'm afraid that tree isn't even close to a. confusa..totally wrong leaf type..all you have to do is type "A. confusa images" into google to get started..then type "A. confusa-dmtnexus" into google..

Hi guys, I've been looking around my property this last week in hope of finding some acacia, I've found a few that I'm thinking might be but there are just so many species im finding it so hard to get anything even close to a good i.d.
Heres some basic pics of what I've found, like I say they are all on my property so I can take further pictures that might be needed for a positive i.d no problem!

just tell me which number and what you might need a picture of and i'l get it no worries, cheers guys

^..2,3 and 4 are acacia, but impossible to ID without flowers and or seed pods..nice garden..

Hey guys, I've been looking around coastal victoria for A. Longifolia and ssp. Sophorae.
I've found a few suspect plants i was hoping someone could help me ID?
I also found an acacia with bright red stems I thought was worth a look.
Any help would be great cheers

yep the first ones are definitely sophorae .. the next ones i'm not sure sure.. they look like acacia siligna in some ways, though the phyllodes don't look glossy enough and the shape doesn't look quite right?

Thanks nene, unfortunately it doesn't look like its flowering at the moment either due to it not being the right time of year or the tree is too young? It is a fairly young tree.

Here's a few more pictures if these help, I couldnt seem to find any seed pods either, I'm guessing thats definitely due to it being too young. Also found another tree after another search around the grounds I'll upload some pictures of that in the next few days or i'll end up filling up a whole page with photos..

Thanks again guys oh and I'm in Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia by the way if that helps i.d!






And a younger plant at the base of the tree

^..that's the northern NSW form of A. melanoxylon, different to the Vic forms..the juvenile growth (bipinnate leaves) and hairy/silvery young phyllodes are a giveaway..
unfortunately only traces of dmt..
but there's plenty of interest in your region, e.g. A. maidenii, A. implexa (recent +ve by Seldom)

Thanks acacian!
Anyone have any idea on the last one?
I have a feeling it'll be something worth while I just can't match it up!

^..hi sammas..the first is indeed A. sophorae..
the 2nd one needs finer detail or pods to conclude on..
it could be, and is certainly related to, A. caesilla and allies, both Victoria, NSW..

Shame about the dmt content.. shouldnt have trouble finding any around this area though just trying to make sure theres nothing sat right outside my front door i'm mising out on!

This is the other I'm curious about that I stumbled upon today...

Thanks for the help nen!
I'll have a look around and see if I can find any seed pods growing on the ground.
Also, does the redness of acacia bark have anything to do with nutrient or alkaloid content?
Peace

hey all, haven't had time to shuffle through id photos myself. saw this today.

Hey all nexian, Acacia protecting enthusiasts. Time is such a virtue in these modern times and I can only make short infrequent visits to this wonderful forum.

Bilson your most recent images are of Caesalpinia ferrea. - leopard tree. Common st tree, not an acacia, but is in the greater botanical family of Fabaceae. No know alkaloid research that I know of.

Soon as I organise my shit and find an hour or two I will share recent results on Acacia leiocalyx, macradenia, and SE-QLD form of melanoxylon. .

Hope to be back soon enlightened and protective tree people.

Is this an acacia? Location is North Sydney. Thanks!

i am no expert, by any means. but i am almost positive those are leaves, not phyllodes.

Does anyone know what type of tree this is? I think it's an Acacia.. It has no thorns though and striped bark, very smooth. No flowers for ID only seed pods

Unik... thats not an acacia.. remember that the acacia is the wattle
