| | Earpod wattle (A. auriculiformis) is a tree native to Northern Australia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern Indonesia (PIER 2002). A. auriculiformis is sparingly planted on {{Maui}E}, and possibly other Hawaiian Islands. This species has been cultivated in various places in the world as a forestry tree and has escaped from plantings in various places, including Florida (PIER 2002). With a history of weediness elsewhere and limited distribution on Maui, this species is a good candidate for eradication and control. Further island wide surveys are needed to locate any other sites where A. auriculiformis grows. It is likely planted on other Hawaiian Islands and surveys there for this species could also be conducted. |
