Can anyone help with the I.D. on this one please. They are a bush/small bushy tree that grows prolifically along the creeks in the Gold Coast hinterland. the new foliage is this red colour but mature leaves are a mid green. They have yellow flowers about the size of a 10 c piece.
I have tried a couple of plant ID apps on my android phone, but they all come up with North American plants. Can anyone recommend a good plant ID app. for Aussie plants that I can download to my android phone?
