Daviesia ovata, commonly known as broad-leaf daviesia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of the south-west of Western Australia. It is a dense, bushy, glabrous shrub with egg-shaped to elliptic phyllodes and orange and maroon flowers. Description
