waterdragon Posted January 4, 2004 this is a shot i took that almost matches the description you sent of a.alpina. need a better source for wattle i.d as there's too damn many of them about. with any luck that piccy should come out right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterdragon Posted January 5, 2004 interesting piccy. don't recall seeing those reddish hues in the species i'm looking at currently. any thoughts on where exactly that picture was taken? funny that now i'm REALLY looking for new wattles to i.d i've been spotting species that are new to me(travelling further afield too), might do a trip to corryong soon and see what i can photograph along the way.

Darklight Posted January 5, 2004 Torsten: Darcy - I have some dried twigs here for you to check out. Hmm, I have some unidentified acacia twigs kinda like the ones in the pic. Bought them back from Vic and meant to analyse and classify, must remember to get them to you too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted January 6, 2004 these are the A.alpina that grow at 'the end of the road' on mt buffalo. It was early summer, so the red is probably not a winter feature (like in many other plants). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted January 6, 2004 I think this topic is better placed in the australian section, so I will move it there now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
