What is another word for stinking wattle?
Pronunciation: [stˈɪŋkɪŋ wˈɒtə͡l] (IPA) 
Stinking wattle, scientifically known as Acacia mearnsii, is an invasive species of tree that is highly disliked due to its unpleasant odor. However, there are several synonyms for this plant that are less offensive and more descriptive. Some of these include black wattle, Australian blackwood, and Tasmanian blackwood. These names highlight its origin and wood properties, which are highly valued for furniture making and building. Another synonym is green wattle, which refers to its greenish bark. Although these names are less commonly used, they are certainly more pleasant than the stinking wattle label.
