Daviesia crenulata
Daviesia crenulata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a bushy shrub with broadly egg-shaped phyllodes with a sharply-pointed end and wavy edges, and uniformly yellow-orange and maroon flowers. Description
Daviesia crenulata is a bushy shrub that typically grows to a height of  to  and has hairy, ridged branchlets. Its leaves are reduced to scattered, spreading, broadly egg-shaped phyllodes  long and  wide. The phyllodes have a sharply-pointed tip on the end, a heart-shaped base and wavy edges. The flowers are mostly arranged in groups of two to four in leaf axils on a peduncle  long, each flower on a pedicel  long with oblong bracts about  long at the base. The sepals are  long and joined at the base, the two upper lobes joined for most of their length and the lower three triangular and about  long. The standard is elliptic, yellow-orange with maroon markings,  long and  wide, the wings elliptic, maroon and  long and the keel about  long. Flowering occurs in September and October and the fruit is a flattened, triangular pod  long. Taxonomy and naming
Daviesia crenulata was first formally described in 1853 by Nikolai Turczaninow in the Bulletin de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou. The specific epithet (crenulata) means "crenulate", referring to the edge of the phyllodes. Distribution and habitat
