Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Description
Trying to identify this tree based on the two photos showing trunk, branches and leaves.

Comments & Identifications
The are reminiscent of a Eucalyptus, but I'm not confident.
Well the shape of the leaf is similar to Eucalyptus. How about the trunk shape? I thought it's not what I would normally expect from Eucalyptus by the trunk shape.
The trunk shape is what is throwing me off too. I guess it is possible that these were trimmed at some point to cause this growth...either accidentally or purposefully?
I am guessing this tree is an Acacia based on the foliage. There are a number of species planted as ornamentals that have become naturalized, and without seeing flowers, I'm just guessing it might be A. longfolia. Some have pinnately compound leaves, some with leaves like those on your plant and some that have both types of leaves.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
