Ah. Not a mimosa, then. ;-)

???? I'm curious. What do you call a "mimosa" in the UK?

I notice that the Cape Wattle is from the Mimosa family
http://www.anbg.gov.au/gnp/gnp9/para...lophantha.html and I
know I'd call anything that has the fluffy yellow flower a "wattle"

you Brits bung into the mimosa category (or exclude, as the case may
be)?
