Acacia
dealbata (silver wattle) is a very common tree or
large shrub found in wet forests throughout Tasmania. It has
silvery bipinnate leaves. It is sometimes confused with
black wattle (A. mearnsii),
but tends to be larger and has silvery whitish
leaves. The glands are also distinctive (with one gland
along the main leaf axis for each pair of pinnae, rather
than two). It flowers earlier (August-mid September) than A.
mearnsii.
