Description
Photo taken in Blackwood in the Adelaide Hills,South Australia.Paraserianthes is a genus of four species belonging to the family Mimosaceae and formerly included in the genus Albizia. It consists of trees and shrubs that are mainly tropical and closely allied to the bipinnate (feather-leaved) Acacias or wattles; but it does differ in that the stamens are longer and the small petals are united in the lower part.
Paraserianthes lophantha, commonly known as Cape Leeuwin Wattle or Crested Wattle, is the only species occurring in south-west Western Australia; the others are found in tropical areas of Australia.Image taken with an Olympus Epl1 4/3 camera and a 14-42mm Zuiko lens.Background Texture added.
