Acacia auriculiformis A.Cunn. ex Benth. (code: ACACAURI)
earleaf acacia (en), kaliptis (ht)
- Family: Fabaceae
- Wikipedia: LINK
- Morphology: Distinctive, curved leaf with several parallel midribs (the ‘leaf’ is actually a flattened rachis). A (large?) number of acacia species have a similar seedling form, so if there are two such species planted in the same area, care must be taken. Leaves alternate.
- Determination notes: Assuming that the acacia in Haiti is this one, based on various online lists of planting projects. There are several similar species that are hard to tell apart as seedlings (e.g., Acacia mangium).
