#3593 - Acacia pulchella - Prickly Moses

The common name might be a corruption of 'prickly mimosa'. So prickly, in fact, that the epithet 'pulchella', meaning 'small and beautiful' is not the word I'd use to describe it. Especially when I'm trying to wade through it to get to a more interesting species.

One of the most common shrubs in bushland around Perth and adjacent regions. There's apparently a small population in South Australia, too.

Usually swarming with green spring chafers (Diphucephala sp.) when in flower.

#3592 - Acacia alata var. alata - Winged Wattle

A leafless wattle with flattened zing-zagging photosynthesizing stems. All four varities are endemic to a small part of south-western Australia.

#3489 - Acacia celastrifolia - Glowing Wattle

First described in 1842 by George Bentham in Hooker's London Journal of Botany from specimens collected in the Swan River Colony by James Drummond - three names that should be familiar by now. 'celastrifolia' means 'Celastrus-leaved', a completely unrelated plant.

Grows in gravelly laterite and granite soils in various ecoregions of the SW.

#3466 - Acacia thieleana

Named for Dr Kevin R. Thiele, former Curator of the Western Australian Herbarium.

#3328 - Acacia urophylla - Pointed Leaved Acacia

Acacia is a huge genus, and they do a lot of strange things with their leaves including replacing them with flattened phyllodes, or even losing the phyllodes as well and just photosynthesising with their stems, but these are the weirdest leaves I've ever seen on a wattle.

AKA tall-leaved acacia, veined wattle or net-leaved wattle.

Found only in SW Australia, growing in wetter parts of the wheatbelt, and in Jarrah and Karri eucalypt forests, particularly after fire. It reachs about 3m in height.

Sheesh. Naming body parts wrongly is just awful.

Vulva. It looks like a VULVA.
