Sorry if my quotes around "mimosa" didn't make this clear. You
have figured it out. "Mimosa" is what we called albizia in my
childhood and I still use the word in that context.


Unfortunately, I'd never heard of the name being used across two plants
before! So I thought that your quotes were merely pointing out that a
'mimosa' is in fact, an Acacia! Anyway, all is clear now.
