Pultenaea subspicata
Pultenaea subspicata, commonly known as low bush-pea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a low-lying, prostrate or mat-forming shrub with elliptic leaves and yellow to pink and orange-red, pea-like flowers. Description
Pultenaea subspicata is a low-lying, prostrate or mat-forming shrub that typically grows to a height of up to  and has hairy stems when young. The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches, elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base,  long,  wide with stipules  long at the base and pressed against the surface. The flowers are arranged in dense clusters near the ends of branches, with enlarged stipules at the base of the floral leaves. The sepals are  long with linear, partly hairy, three-lobed bracteoles  long attached to the base of the sepal tube. The standard petal is yellow to pink or orange-red and  wide, the wings yellow to pink or orange-red  long, and the keel orange to reddish-brown and  long. Flowering occurs from August to January and the fruit is a glabrous, egg-shaped pod about  long. Taxonomy
Pultenaea subspicata was first formally described in 1864 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis. The specific epithet (subspicata) means "almost spicate". Distribution and habitat
Low bush-pea grows in forest, woodland and heathland, usually in stony places and is found on the coast and tablelands of New South Wales south from the Macleay River to a few places in far eastern Victoria. References
