Acacia ID

[GiBBz]

Hi,

This is my first post after a while of reading the forums here on the sidelines. On a walk today I found a few plants after doing some research I believe them to be A. concurrens or perhaps A. longifolia. I was hoping someone more enlightened may be able give their opinion on such matters, the location is SEQ. Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

Doesn't look like a longifolia to me, at least not like the ones we have down here in Sydney. Not sure what it is.

Looks very similar to Acacia binervia, the distribution is all wrong though and the flowering is out of season. So probably not. Looks a lot like it though.

EDIT: http://lepidoptera.b...a-binervia.html

Check out the third pic down.

Hmmm, looking at some pics for A. concurrens, I'd go with that.

could it be an acacia obtusifolia although it will be easyer to tell once it has flowers... it might also be longifolia

edit: okay I think your right tonic

concurrens or leiocalyx would be my guess.

jwerta, obtusifolia means, (the 2nd latin name is at times a hint) the tip of the phyllode is blunt, the pic however shows clearly, a very sharp tip. obtusifolia aswell, never displays such sicle shapes as in the pic.

topicstarter, it would help if you tell us in what type of forrest/enviroment this acacia is located

hehe i have actually learn all of this but i didn't even look at the tip of the leaf lol

once it has fully developed flowers though we should be able to id it properly and also a location would help greatly

the location is a small rainforest type climate with a lot of sandstone an environmental park
