Acacia melanoxylon
long leaves in a comma shape with many veins/stripes
At parque natural Sintra-Cascais all over from the dunes at the beach to the mountain range
Not only this species is exotic but also it is invasive, original from Australia it spreads very easily (it has loads of seeds as you can see in the pictures) and is very resistant usually being one of the first to grow after a fire. It is forbidden to plant and sell this specie in Portugal
