Description
Daviesia bursarioides is a straggling shrub that typically grows up to Шаблон:Cvt with widely-spreading, spiny branchlets.

The flowers are arranged in groups of three to eight in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with linear bracts about Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are about Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base with lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard petal is turned back, yellow with a maroon centre, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a notched tip. The wings are deep pink and Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel is maroon and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from June to September and the fruit is a flattened triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[2][3]
