Maybe. But I originally thought it was sifton based on the size of the leaves compared with another larger specimen close by that I was sure was aculeata. It was the structure of the branchlets that made me think that it was more likely aculeata. I understood what you meant when you said you could just tell which it was by looking at it "in the large". I am at that stage with some other species and wonder now why I thought it was so hard to ID them originally. So improving perhaps, but still pretty shaky on aculeata vs sifton. Practice, practice!
It was pleasing to see aculeata turn up in this location. That part of the reserve isn't in the best of shape in terms of native species, but it does have a few pleasant surprises from time to time.
Thanks again for your helpful comments.
