Atlas Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Does anyone have any insights into whether a.obtusifolia and a.obtusata are commonly used interchangeably? Both known as the blunt leaf waffle, having red edging along their phyllode, having a crisp snap when the phyllode is bent and flowering a pale yellow spread around summer, they seem to share a great deal of other characteristics also. Does anyone know if they are individual species or if they are actually the same? Edited January 11, 2015 by Atlas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paradox Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Acacia obtusifolia & obtusata are in two completely different classes of acacia based on morphology & genetics, they're both called blunt leaf wattle because they both have 'obtuse' angled phyllode/leaf tips which is why they have 'obtus..' in their species names.. I've no idea what you mean by interchangable.. but the short answer is no. Edited January 11, 2015 by paradox 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
