Hello friends
In this post I will create a visual tutorial to help identification various acacias, mainly the ones that occur in my country. Im sure they grow in more places so this can be useful to anyone that wants to get a positive id of wild acacias.
I have the help of a scientific group that study and identifies invasive plants in my country. Many thanks to Them! (http://invasoras.pt/)
Happy reading ;)

Thanks for the support!

I did take some, we are a group of people that pass the weekend searching for invasive species, identifying them and enter the exact location, by GPS on a map (https://www.google.com/fusiontables/data?docid=1Uox2xXHpWPCGYScwJJUxcLuzKCJwn97DIHSk1HY#map:id=3). Its called citizen-scientist activity.
Although there are dozens of invasive species here worthy of study and identification, my main focus are the acacias ;)
Perhaps this type of activity exists in other countries, if so we could create a global acacia database.
who said that science is boring? :P

And if you want to became an acacia guro, you can check this 1609 acacia´s species database! ;)

@ EVENEVE that could be Acacia Melanoxylon, they produce coiled pods and grow huge.
