Albizia ? an introduced australian tree, from the estates of Kodaikanal


I think this is the wattle I have posted earlier in our group. Check here. Should be Acacia dealbata or A.mearnsi. I would also like to know the id.


Try Acacia elata which has large leaflets.


Thank you very much …, you are correct. my image is matching with it.
