Daviesia arenaria, commonly known as sandhill bitter-pea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is usually a hummock-forming shrub with many short, spiny branchlets and heart-shaped to elliptic phyllodes with a sharp point on the end, and orange-pink, maroon and yellow flowers. Description
Daviesia arenaria is usually a hummock-forming shrub that typically grows up to  high and  wide and has many short, spiny branchlets. Its leaves are reduced to heart-shaped to elliptic phyllodes that are v-shaped in cross-section,  wide and  wide with a sharply-pointed tip. The flowers are orange-pink with maroon and yellow markings, arranged singly or in pairs in leaf axils, each flower on a pedicel  long with several egg-shaped bracts about  long at the base. The five sepals are  long with triangular lobes about  long. The petals are orange-pink on the front, maroon on the back with a greenish-yellow line on both sides, the standard petal, wings and keel all  long. Flowering mainly occurs from August to November and the fruit is a flattened triangular pod  long. Taxonomy and naming
