sethomopod Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 hey guys, i did a couple of searches and found a couple of id threads that look like this acacia. From what i gather, this is a longfolia. Im just wondering if anyone with a little more experience could confirm my suspicions. Thanks in advance!

dbbard Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Where is it from?Looks like a floribunda.Is it possible to get a shot focusing on leaf as well as flower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdwing Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Don't think it's longifolia....They have straight phyllodes where this one has curved margins. Also your climate says Nth QLD and they mainly occur in coastal NSW & upto and around QLD border Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballzac Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It's not floribunda either. The phyllodes are too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G*P Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It looks to me that the shape of the tree is one of the most telling signs with longifolia var Sophorae. Very shrub like, sprawled all about the place. And i've never seen phyllodes on one that were that broad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush Turkey Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 sorry to steal ya thread!this has more straight leaves and rounded at the apex. from wat i gather its longfolia? just want another opinion. it has smaller flowers than sethomopod's picwas found among gum trees and scrub. is it possible to make a cutting grow or do i have to wait for the seeds???

volcanicplug Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 hi sethomopod, pretty sure your first pic if of Acacia concurrens (late flowering black wattle)... i live on the gold coast and these are flowering like crazy at the moment... this species is distinguishable from Acacia leiocalyx (early flowering black wattle) by the greyish sheen on its leaves...this species may contain tryptamines?... and is very fast growing...hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
