![]() ![]() There are all sorts of native trees in Australia, from ones with flowers to ones with fruit. And your tree won’t only make a statement! It’ll also give shade, create a habitat, and even provide food for any wildlife passing by. Not only can you support your local community by sourcing them from nearby nurseries, but they’re also a perfect fit for our climate down under. Acacia diastemata Maslin, M.D.Barrett & R.L.Some of the best trees to grow in your yard are Australian native trees.Acacia demissa-Ashburton Willow, Moondyne Tree.Acacia cyperophylla-Creekline Miniritchi, Red Mulga.Acacia cyclocarpa Maslin, M.D.Barrett & R.L.Barrett.Acacia crassicarpa-Thick-podded Salwood, Northern Wattle.Acacia citrinoviridis-Black mulga, Wantan, Milhan, River Jam.Acacia chisholmii-Turpentine Bush, Chisholm's Wattle.Acacia camptocarpa Maslin, M.D.Barrett & R.L.Barrett.Acacia burkittii-Burkitt's Wattle, Gunderbluey, Pin Bush, Sandhill Wattle, Fine Leaf Jam.Acacia brachystachya-Umbrella mulga, turpentine mulga, false bowgada.Acacia auriculiformis-Earleaf Acacia, Northern Black Wattle, Ear-pod Wattle, Darwin Black Wattle, Papuan Wattle.Acacia anastomosa Maslin, M.D.Barrett & R.L.Barrett.burkittii-Burkitt's Wattle, Gunderbluey, Pin Bush, Sandhill Wattle, Fine Leaf Jam Acacia acuminata-Raspberry jam, fine leaf jam, # myal.Acacia trachyphloia-Golden-feather Wattle, Bodalla Wattle.Acacia terminalis-Cedar Wattle, Sunshine Wattle.Acacia spectabilis-Glory Wattle, Mudgee Wattle, Pilliga Wattle.Acacia silvestris-Bodalla Silver Wattle.Acacia polybotrya-Western Silver Wattle.Acacia parvipinnula-Silver-stemmed Wattle.Acacia parramattensis-South Wales Wattle, Sydney Green Wattle, Parramatta Wattle.Acacia decurrens-Green wattle, Black wattle.Acacia dealbata-silver wattle(Mupangara/Bangara).Acacia cardiophylla-West Wyalong wattle.Acacia baileyana-Cootamundra wattle, Bailey acacia.Two Australian acacias were re-classified under Vachellia, and another two under Senegalia. Mariosousa: 13 species related to (and including) Acacia coulteri (Americas).Acaciella (former subgenus Aculeiferum section Filicinae): 15 species (Americas).Senegalia (former subgenus Aculeiferum): 200+ species (pantropical).Vachellia (former subgenus Acacia): 160+ species (pantropical).The other species, distributed in the Indian Ocean, tropical Asia and tropical America are now classified under In its new circumscription, the genus Acacia (now limited to the Australian species) has seven subgenera- Alatae (an artificial section ), Botrycephalae, Juliflorae, Lycopodiifoliae, Plurinerves, Phyllodinae, and Pulchellae (see below). This decision was upheld at the 2011 Congress. ![]() Those outside Australia are split between the genera Acaciella, Mariosousa, Senegalia, and Vachellia. Consequently, the name Acacia is conserved for 948 Australian species, 7 in the Pacific Islands, 1 or 2 in Madagascar and 10 in tropical Asia. Although this proposal met with strong disagreement by some authors, it was accepted on 16 July 2005 by the XVII International Botanical Congress in Vienna, Austria. Orchard and Maslin proposed a retypification of the genus Acacia with the species Acacia penninervis Sieber ex DC., an Australian species that is a member of the largest clade within Acacia, a primarily Australian group formerly recognized as Acacia subgenus Phyllodinae, on the basis that this results in the fewest nomenclatural changes. Under the original typification, the name Acacia would stay with the group of species currently recognized as the genus Vachellia. The genus was previously typified with the African species Acacia scorpioides (L.) W.F.Wright, a synonym of Acacia nilotica (L.) Delile. Which of these segregate genera is to retain the name Acacia has been controversial. The proposed type species of Acacia is Acacia penninervis. This genus has been provisionally divided into 5 genera, Acacia, Vachellia, Senegalia, Acaciella and Mariosousa. Therefore, the following list of Acacia species cannot be maintained as a single entity, and must either be split up, or broadened to include species previously not in the genus. Several cladistic analyses have shown that the genus Acacia is not monophyletic. SEM image of Acacia pollen (about 50 microns long) ![]()
