0 paradox Posted August 25, 2010 not maidenii... longfolia, looks like it was growing in a fairly shady spot or your sample was taken from a low branch that got not much sun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 solomon Posted August 25, 2010 not maidenii... longfolia, looks like it was growing in a fairly shady spot or your sample was taken from a low branch that got not much sun? you'd be correct about that. cheers for the id Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 planthelper Posted August 26, 2010 i would like to add, that the pyllodes can change shape dramasticly, if a plant experiences adverse conditions. in short, according to my own observations, acacias stressed for water (and possible light aswell) display more narrow shaped phyllodes. waterstress can turn a broad shaped phyllode into a narrow one, thus making id even more difficult. but as paradox point's out, he even takes those differences into account already when id'ing, wau, i'm impressed.
