I've long been on the hunt for alkaloid producing acacias in my area (SE Melbourne), particularly something that could be sustainably harvested, i.e. from phyllodes.
So I've got a few samples I'd love IDs on please
(sorry for pic orientation - not sure how to correct this)
Sample 1: 19/06/2020 - I think this is a Floribunda but would love confirmation.
Sample 2: 21/06/2020 - Pretty sure this is also Floribunda
Sample 3: 21/06/2020 - This one looks quite different, note the quite pronounced reddish colour of the stems
Sample 4: 21/06/2020 - Also quite different, the branches seemed to be quite elongated and droop down towards the ground; phyllodes protrude perpendicular to the stem
