Description
Daviesia daphnoides is a bushy or spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt and has ridged branchlets and glabrous foliage. Its leaves are reduced to more or less erect, narrow elliptic to egg-shaped phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in groups of two to six in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with oblong to triangular bracts at the base. The sepals are about Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the two upper lobes joined for most of their length and the lower three triangular and Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard is yellow with a dark red base, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the wings dull red and yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel dark red and about Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from April to July and the fruit is a triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long with a tapering tip.[1][2]
