Re: Mimosa/Acacia-like shrub identification?

It sounds to me like Caesalpinia gilliesii, from Brazil and Argentina.

Subject: Mimosa/Acacia-like shrub identification?


Hi there,

There's a shrub I see around gardens in Istanbul that I've been trying to identify. It can get quite tall, to 8 feet or so, is airy-open, with *very* finely divided grayish green leaves. The flowers are not the puffy mimosa type things but rather have entire petals of a bright yellow, and long-protruding deep red stamens. If this isn't enough information for someone to identify it, I can go shoot a picture of it.

Thanks!

bob
