The plants now described as being species in the
genus Acacia were often erroneously
described as Mimosa plants by early explorers such as Matthew Flinders. Indeed, in the street markets of Europe today Acacias (known popularly in Australia
as ‘wattles’) are often incorrectly labelled
as Mimosa. The true Mimosa
plants are not indigenous to Australia, and are a pest plant here. |
