Well I believe the main difference would be that Mimosa Hostilis has thorns... Although you can't really tell from that picture.

The Florida mimosa is not in the Mimosa genus but rather in the genus Albizia.
It probably has to do with seed pods, pre-flower structure, and stem structure being different.
That picture you posted resembles the albizia IME, MH stems/bark tends to have more red to them.
Also, I've found that it's quite difficult to get an accurate picture of MH flowers online, so many sites just post images of the albizia or M. Pudica.

I agree with Dan that the first looks like Albizia, probably A. julibrissin, the species that has become weedy throughout most of the Southern US. A. julibrissin does not have thorns like M. hostillis, nor is it active, or even a true Mimosa. As for the second image, it is really too dark and awkwardly taken to tell. I'm confident I could identify physical specimens, but picture IDs are difficult because more often than not they do not demonstrate the subtle identification characteristics.

The plant pictured is indeed an Albizia sp, more than likely Albizia julibrissin.

Irie, I thought that Hostilis has elongated white flowers. Both these look like Albizia. Respect Z

Everyone has wishful thinking when it comes to these trees, I thought the same thing when I first heard of M. hostilis because the trees were so abundant in my area. If you ever see a true M. hostilis, you will know the differences right away, the two look nothing alike.

Irie, This is a tree that I found on another island, which I highly suspect to be Hostilis.
Had that funky smell around the area too! Here's both as seedlings.
This is an 8ft tall hostilis.

By the looks of those flowers, I would also say that that is a Hostilis.

The leaves dont look right on the first one IMO.
My MH are about 3-4 feet tall and still retain the smaller leaf sets.

Which one? The one with the flowers? Where these were growing there were also countless different acacias....this looked the closest & the only one with flowers like this. My MH are one year. Most are around 8-9ft, but I've have them in pots still & they are getting quite root bound. Hopefully I'll get to plant them out at the end of the month. Respect Z
