Your photo is OK. I have not got round to trying to ID it from scratch, which is difficult. Could you give me measurements for typical leaf length and width. Also whether the stalks of individual flower heads are hairy or not, and the colour of the hairs.
Typical leaf length is 9-10mm Typical leaf width is 5-6mm No hairs on individual flower heads. I took an herbarium specimen of this wattle. Hope the above is useful
If you have taken it into the Botanic Gardens, they will be able to use characters not easily seen on a photo to get to the correct ID. I presume the leaf length should have been in cm, not mm.
Ruth, can you provide location please. I am in town tomorrow and will arrange to collect a specimen - unless you have already placed a specimen with the botanic gardens?
Geoff I have confirmed this as an Acacia sp. which should enable you to see the location - can you let me know the identity if you can work it out - Thanks
I collected a specimen this morning (4 Oct 2017). The specimen is Acacia rubida, using 3 source keys to ID it. More information can be provided if needed. The racemes are actually simple, not branched, with this not being shown very clearly in the close-up photograph.
