Most Acacia possess physical dormancy.[1][2]
In A. tortilis, removal of the protrusion with nail clippers results in the highest germination rate (94%) compared to sanding+boiling water (32%), boiling water (5%), sanding+sulfuric acid (86%), sulfuric acid (85%), sanding (21%), no treatment (6%). The authors suggest that the lack of success from boiling water alone, which was more successful in previous studies, might be due to the limited amount of water used (~60mL for 50 seeds). Similarly, their sanding might not have penetrated deep enough into the seed coat.[1]
In A. etbaica, A. gerrardii, A. origena, A. ehrenbergiana, and A. asak germination speed and rate were generally enhanced by abrasion and acid scarification compared to hot water immersion or no treatment, but there was significant variation among treatments and seed source.[2]

Confusa can have several (geno/pheno)types present in the seedlings of a single tree: Slow-growing dwarfs with short nodes and broad phyllodes, green stem. red stem, and pinnate or spur-like second eophyll. In this study, the variation is likely the result of open pollination by trees at least 100 meters away.[3]

The second seedling seems to have not been hindered by the weird development.
21 Mar 2022
The second seed has fallen over.
17 Mar 2022
Germ01 is progressing to the seedling stage.
Second germination has occurred.
15 Mar 2022
The first seed has germinated. That was fast.
08 Mar 2022
Started 6 seeds today from WSS. Sterilized in 70% ethanol for 2 minutes then 0.6% sodium hypochlorite + Tween 20 for 15 minutes. Clipped the small protrusion at the end with wire snips. Sown on 1:1 v/v sand:coir mix. Covered with 3-5mm mix. Placed in 30°C incubator.
