Acacia ID Help

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I have been walking around for a little while near me and seek to identify this particular tree. I apologise if I've failed in my attempts to actually provide photos that aid identification but I am very much a newbie.

I'm guessing that the absence of seed pods means it will be virtually impossible to ID, I'm wondering whether anybody could at least put forth possibilities.

It would be nice if this were something good as there is more than enough bark on the floor.

Thanks for looking.

Anybody know a site that is a bit more frequented that I might post this?

Looks like it might be found somewhere within the Juliflorae section of Acacia, but I wouldn't have a clue what section of Australia it comes from.

Hey, looks to me like a golden flowered salwood otherwise known as Acacia aulacocarpa or its very close relative Acacia disparimma . I have recently identified stands of this species near my home in SE QLD which are also in flower at the moment. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I think you are probably right with that. Any test extractions?

Yep, I'd read that. Not really conclusive to the question of bark alkaloid, though.
