Field Notes

Description:

This plant is almost certainly an species of Acacia. The closest I got of an ID was Acacia dealbata, but this one has more spherical flowers, while the one I spotted is slightly elongated. Also, A. dealbata is native from Australia, and this plant was growing free beside a rural way.

Nice snaps asergio. I'm not fully with you on the ID so far. The flowers look different. In your second pic the flower is stretched along a central stem more like a banksia flower.... images of dealbata and most other acacias show flowers remain tiny balls even if clustered. What's really frustrating is I know this plant but just can't remember it.
