Intriguing Leaves of Acacia auriculiformis:<\/a>
\nThis common exotic tree is seen with only falcate green veinless phyllodes which disguise like simple leaves.<\/span> Like most Acacias<\/i> this should havebeen having bi-pinnate leaves. Interestingly this Acacia<\/i> too has bipinnate leaves but they are seen only in sapling stage. Pinnae2, 2-5 cm, deciduous; leafletsopposite, 6-10, sessile, oblong, 5-8 mm; petiole 5-8 mm, modifying and elongating to a phyllode 10-15 cm long. Scar of fallen pinnae can be seen at the rounded apex of the phyllode.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

This is what we have been teaching our students. Thanks for capturing it at the right stage and showing us.<\/p>\n

\n

When I was working for a tree plantation project, I had planted millions of this tree. You can see this when the plant grows from the seed.<\/p>\n

\n

BUT I am still ignorant of the tree’s ID and
\nwhat happens when that flat “leaf ” falls off, does it mean that the small leaves on its apex fall off too?
\nso some leaves have pinnae and some donot? as in this pic…
\nif I knew the name , I could google it…then I would not have to bother you…
\nbut all this discussion without a name, assumes that most of the 1900 members are all botanists… REMEMBER ONLY A HANDFUL ARE CARD CARRYING BOTANISTS>> THE REST OF US are NON BOTANISTS…. so please take pity on us ….<\/p>\n

\n
Wish you a happy Hindu New Year. Thank you very much for your curiosities, hope I satisfy them at least partially.<\/div>\n
This is my first attempt to handle the new format yet I believe that my post carries the name Acacia auriculiformis. Ironically the post itself became more intriguing than the leaves. Earleaf Acacia and Australian Acacia are more names to help you navigate with Google. Pardon me for defficient and confusing information. I am attaching another image to help you ID this invasive tree that has reached most of our wild habitats.
\nI am also a pitiable non botanist like most of us. Please excuse me to have narrated in a style that disguises me to be a card carrying botanist. I take privilege of passing the batton of your queries to a person who carries the necessary stars and shoulder pips.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
There is a famous doctrine in Biology which all of us are familiar with “Ontogeny Repeats Phyllogeny<\/u>“. The modified leaf of Australian Acacia<\/b> (Acacia auriculiformis<\/i>) is derived from the normal bipinnate leaves so common in other Acacia species. In this evolutionary modification the pinnae got reduced and their function was taken up by the flattened petiole (called Phyllode, as against phylloclade of Opuntia<\/i> which is a modified stem taking function of leaf) of the leaf in the adult plant. Hence it is common to see juvenile plants with some pinnae at the tip of the phyllode, and these eventually fall off. Adult trees are without these pinnae and have only flattened phyllodes functioning as leaves. Of course every leaf has to fall once it has become old: In evergreen trees they develop and fall off periodically so that tree remains green throughout the year (Mango, Alstonia<\/i>, etc.); In deciduous trees on the other hand the fresh leaves appear in spring (Late February-March-early April) and all fall off in autumn so that tree remains naked for few months in winter (Prunus, Pyrus, Salix, Populus).<\/span><\/div>\n
Delhi (and perhaps some other warmer cities in India) don’t have typical four seasons. Here so called autumn is brief few days in March when deciduous trees suddenly lose their leaves and fresh leaves come up after a gap of few days, the Delhi Spring.
\nI hope I have shared some helpful information.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

I found a univ of queensland teaching manual … in it they describe exactly the two leaf types you just talked of… I am sending the url in for sake of sharing with other non-botanists like me and for sake of completion for archives…<\/p>\n

\nAcacia auriculiformis<\/i> Benth. from CCS Haryana Agricultural University Hisar<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I hate this tree in general because it is not native to India and grows rampantly here<\/span>. (Personal views) though the flowers and fruits and even the so called leaves look really beautiful. I have some pictures of the fruits. Will search and probably post during the family week which is just round the corner….<\/p>\n

\n

Yes … not good being non native. Here in Haryana found Occasionally only and mainly planted not wild<\/p>\n

\n

is this what is called gando baval in gujarat?
\nwas introduced as preventive for soils erosion??\/
\nbut has now become awater guzzling monster…??? is it the same?
\nwe dont have it in Bengal yet… at least not seen it…<\/p>\n

Fabaceae – Mimosoideae – Bangalore – RA – Acacia auriculiformis – Earpod Wattle Tree<\/a>:
\nEarleaf Acacia<\/span><\/b> is an evergreen, unarmed tree to 15 m (50 ft) tall, with compact spread, often multi-stemmed; young growth glaucous. Leaves alternate, simple, reduced to phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks), these blade-like, slightly curved, 5-8 in long. Flowers in loose, yellow-orange spikes at leaf axils or in clusters of spikes at stem tips; flowers mimosa-like, with numerous free stamens. Fruit a flat, oblong pod, twisted at maturity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s roots are very strong and can break through concrete, ruining sidewalks and driveways and pushing out other vegetation.<\/span><\/div>\n
Used for the cultivation of the lac insect in India.<\/span><\/div>\n
This plant is native to southeast Asia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinia and Australia<\/span><\/div>\n

Have a look at the attached photo – as to how they decorate themselves with the flowers.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

very colourful. Thanks for showing it. so boys decorate themselves too, it seems. the yellow at least one of the long hanging inflorescence is this acacia i think is it? what is the red and the round mala of yellow flowers that he has on?<\/p>\n

\n
Thanks. I have many more to share which I will do when opportunity comes.
\n<\/span>One slight correction – <\/span>she is a young girl, wearing garland of the inflorescences of Acacia auriculiformis<\/i>.<\/span>\u00a0 Most of them wear red bands as they adore red colour.\u00a0Here these bands are not of flowers but the ones available in market, gifted to her by some visitor.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

sorry i thought her to be different. facial features somewhat prompted me to think it might be a male child. — the red mala\u00a0did seem to be “tightly” strung in flowers, could not identify them
\nyet I could not imagine them not to be natural. no wonder anthropologists and Govt. rules now do not allow contact with outside visitors. what do they normally use for red from their own indigenous sources?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Pure red flowers are few in the forest. They use red ochre on face prepared from soil and some algae. Tourism continues but with restrictions. Vehicles are allowed to ply through the reserve along the Trunk road in groups and you can not stop the vehicle on the way.\u00a0 Otherwise entry into the reserve is prohibited.\u00a0 But poachers are there, for felling of trees, fishing, hunting and sand mining.\u00a0 Forest dept. and police are \u00a0not having enough strength and manpower to stop all these.\u00a0 However, the Jarawas are coming out frequently to human settlements and enjoying bus ride on the roof of the bus and going to villages for collecting banana and other fruits.\u00a0 Govt. providing them red bands, threads, medical aid and whatever else they require.<\/span><\/p>\n
