Acacia retinodes wirilda

Acacia retinodes. From An Illustrated Manual of Pacific Coast Trees, Howard E. McMinn & Evelyn Maino

Not common on campus, this acacia is readily recognized by the olive-green color and texture of its shrubby foliage. Flowering is not profuse, in fact, flowers may be sparse. The phyllodes are in the same general size range as those of A. longifolia and A. melanoxylon, but can be distinguished by having only one vein. There is a gland that is well away from the base of the phyllode. Specimens at the north end of the fire road joining 511 Gerona Road to Campus Drive had been removed by 2016.
