- Description: Transcript: "Acacia caffra. Flowers November to January with occasional extensions to March. The scent differs from Accia karroo in being not so sickly -is sharper to the nose but nonetheless attractive. The fine thorns are not readily visible. The softness of the foliage can lead one into grabbing at branches only to be be well pricked. The tree is very common along the Buffalo river at King William's Town often growing at the water's edge. In the veld, Acacia karroo often grows among Acacia caffra, the two making an interesting contrast. 30.10.1959. Coming into flower at Kei Bridge on the Komga-Transkei border, At Bashee Bridge between Idutywa and Umtata, and in the Umzimkhulu valley on the Natal border of Transkei. 21.11.1959. Coming into good flower at King William's Town. July 1960. Trees mostly bare but some have straggly leaves adhering. August 1960. Bare. September 1960. Began shooting on trees along rivers early in the month. But leaves began bursting from their buds on trees in dry veld on about the 15th of the month despite lack of rain to stimulate spring growth October 27th 1960. First flowers appearing.”

Autumnal tints fine. Trees change to a rich gold, made lovelier by the fern-like nature of the foliage. Colour varies from yellow to gold. July. Branches now bare August. Branches mostly bare still but where a tree is growing in a damp area, new shoots are staring 28.12.1958. Travelling between Grahamstown and King William's Town. Acacias in the Great Fish River valley were well out in flower, far in advance of those near Grahamstown, in the Keiskamma River valley, and at King William's Town. Always some trees in an area flower in advance of the rest and, always, certain trees surpass all others Sept.1960. Trees burst into leaf in about second week despite severe drought. Rather irregular as between tree and tree with some trees still in their old dark foliage and some still leafless after the winter, 16.10.1960. A few puffs of flower coming out. Otherwise only rough, unopened flower buds 1 June 1961. In the King William's Town bushveld many of the Acacia trees, now almost leafless or only sparsely leaved, have appearance of spume-like scum spread over them, a dirty off- white mass. But this is an illusion; it is caused by the fuzzy, wispy seed-covers of Clematis now in full seed.”
