''Acacia floribunda'' is a perennial evergreen〔(Native Flora of the Southern Highlands )〕 shrub or tree. It is native to New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, but is cultivated extensively, and has naturalised in South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia, and also in Indonesia, Mauritius and northern New Zealand. Common names for it include gossamer wattle, weeping acacia and white sallow wattle.〔 It grows up to 6m in height, but there is a commercial form available which only grows to about 1m tall. Its cream-colored flowers occur in the early Spring (August to September in the southern hemisphere).〔(Australian National Botanic Gardens )〕 == Uses == In landscaping, ''Acacia floribunda'' is very useful for controlling erosion, especially in gullies. It is also useful as a hedge,〔 as a wind breaker, around bogs and ponds and as a shade tree.〔(Organic Matters )〕 It is sold frequently as an ornamental landscaping plant because it is fast-growing and it has many beautiful flowers.〔(Australian Acacias in the Garden )〕 The tree is used for its nitrogen fixing properties by interspersing it with fruit trees.〔(Gardening Australia Factsheet: Permaculture Paradise )〕 ''A. floribunda'' foliage has some use as fodder for livestock such as goats.〔 The mature inner bark of this species contains the compound NN-Dimethyltryptamine (0.4%) and other substituted tryptamines that are components of the South American visionary medicine Ayahuasca. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acacia floribunda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
