A tropical tree or shrub in Australia with fragrant flowers (6)

I believe the answer is:

mimosa

(Other definitions for mimosa that I've seen before include "Sensitive plant genus; so maim (anag.)" , "Australian acacia tree" , "Type of acacia tree" , "Variety of acacia" , "Tree with scented clustered flowers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
