mearnsii (black wattle) is a common shrub or small
tree found in dry forests or woodlands. It has bipinnate
leaves. It is sometimes confused with silver wattle (A.
dealbata), but has dark glossy leaflets (unlike
the silvery leaflets of A. dealbata). The glands are
also distinctive (with two glands along the main leaf axis
for each pair of pinnae, rather than one). It flowers later
(mid September/October) than A. dealbata. |
