User's notes

Slender, young wattle in regenerating Swamp Sclerophyll Forest. Only about 2m tall, slender. The only mature vegetation on this part of the reserve are Eucalypts and Casuarinas. There is a very dense shrub layer that has regenerated since grazing was stopped about 8 years ago.

I am pretty sure it is Swamp Wattle Acacia elongata.

Sorry Megan I was a bit puzzled by a couple of details on the specimen you showed me at the meeting - very slender and longer peduncles than i had seen.

Yes, it is a little ‘off’ but still within the description in Flora. I’ll collect some more for further study Nicholas.
