Silk Tree

C. Daehler - good information :) Dave

Yes, "mimosa" is a common name for several plants, including Albizia julibrissin (mimosa tree) http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/node/29 I think "Mimosa" is sometimes a confusing name because it is also a plant genus with 400 species http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa and it is sometimes used for Acacia species with yellow flowers e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mimosa_des_4_saisons_2.jpg Anyway, it's easy to add multiple common names to a spotting (spotter's option).

I see this growing wild here in Bandung, Indonesia. It certainly looks like mimosa, but the leaves don't fold when you touch them. Dave

This appears to be mimosa.

Based on the leaflets and clustering of flowers, this is an Albizia (Albizia julibrissin) http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=ALJU
