Pultenaea polifolia
Pultenaea polifolia, commonly known as dusky bush-pea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is an erect to prostrate shrub with linear or elliptic to egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and yellow to orange and red to purple flowers. Description
Pultenaea polifolia is an erect to prostrate shrub that typically grows to a height of up to  with hairy stems. The leaves are arranged alternately, linear or elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base,  long,  wide with stipules  long at the base and pressed against the stem. The edge of the leaves curves downwards, the upper surface is glabrous and the lower surface is paler and hairy. The flowers are arranged in clusters of more than three on the ends of branches and are  long, each flower on a pedicel  long with overlapping, three-lobed bracts  long at the base. The sepals are  long, joined at the base, and there are narrow egg-shaped bracteoles about  long attached to the sepal tube. The standard petal is yellow to red and  wide, the wings are yellow to orange and the keel is red to purple. Flowering occurs from October to November and the fruit is a flattened pod  long. Taxonomy
Pultenaea polifolia was first formally described in 1825 by Allan Cunningham in Barron Field's Geographical Memoirs on New South Wales. The meaning of the specific epithet is unclear, but may mean Polium-leaved, "Polium" being now known as Teucrium montanum. Distribution and habitat
Dusky bush-pea grows in heath and is found in New South Wales south from the New England National Park through the coast and tablelands to the Australian Capital Territory and north-eastern Victoria. References
