Thanks for the reply! The flowers are starting to develop. Looks similar to lambs quarters now as far I can see. I'll allow it some time to get a little bigger.

I found today what looks like Mimosa hostilis, but the seeds look like yopo.
Long white flowers, small spines... pod structure does not fit Acacia (feidherbia) albida. Please help with ID.
Climate is subtropical and it is irrigated.

Thanks!

Mass Spec doesn't lie....

I'm curious to know if one could use GC-MS, IR/UV-Vis/Raman/HCLC/etc. on these novel specimens of yours in order to see if one could somehow predict a species' name. Many acacias have been phytochemically analyzed before, and I'd argue that results collected via previous entries regarding the small nitrogenous alkaloid content of various Fabaceae specimens in the wild in the literature may be of use to you, as the phytochemical content of a certain section of the plant, may play an invaluable role in identifying the supposed species' name.

What were the GPS coordinates from where it grew?

hello
found these in a green house
owner claims these are acacias but doesn't know which, since they are little i find it hard (impossible for me) to ID
so i thought i'd get help

[fairdinkumseeds]

Mimosa pudica, sensitive weed by the looks.

Just a little update on this wild grain. Definitely in the polygonaceae family of plants.

I have a short psychotria plant that gets about 2-3 feet with tiny dark green leaves I'm not sure what type it is but um having trouble posting a picture here.

thanks Botanicus! it certainly looks like that species,
except it's not growing semi-submerged in water.

Hi all,

I write this message cause it is impossible for me to identify a plant despite searches on the internet. A lot of things contradicts and despite a large number of photos, I can't determine if my calea is a calea or a chromoleana. I'm not sure that all the google pictures that show colea are fair
- the plant has a very special taste of the one touches the leaves (like tomatoes)
- Cutting are very easy
- the last leaves become purple when there is a lot of light and pale green when there is a lack of light
- the plant never bloomed
- when the plant is upset (cold or dry), leaves turn down

some photos.
I sincerely thank you for your help.

After read and look,
I think this plant is chromoleana but i can't be sur.
- From herbarium source, leaves are more oval
herbariovaa
but from other source, triangular leaves could be calea ternifolia calyculata
utexas.edu

Then, when i read chromoleana odorata herborium, leaves are triangular keys.trin.org.au but from source, photos shows leaves oval plantnet-project

 =^.^= Calea Zacatechichi 'dream herb'

though that chromoleana odorata does look closely related, it may be the same plant with two names..
There is confusion about naming this species. Those Chromo leaves do look spikier than CaleaZ to me.
