Do we have to say which Mimosa?! There are a lot of them...

Thing is, I don't actually know what it is I just posted it for a bit of fun. But this Mimosa thing came up recently ina real live ident enquiry on Arbtalk. Mimosa is a scientific name of a Genus, a member of the family Fabaceae (legumes). Acacia is the scientific name of a Genus, also a member of the Fabaceae family, but some of its members are known commonly as mimosa, many are known as wattles.

So I don't know if it's a Mimosa mimosa or an Acacia mimosa. I just saw the subpinnate leaves and thought 'mimosa/wattle/acacia", took a few snaps and went back to the apartment.

Acacia dealbata?

I would have thought a mimosa mimosa, not an acacia mimosa, with those fine leaflets.

Shall we move on?!

[daltontrees]

I have given up on the Mimosa thing (for now anyway).

One more.

Magnolia grandiflora?

[daltontrees]

Dunno, it is glossy enough for Magnolia but the leaves are way too big and broad. Might it be a Ficus?
