Description
Daviesia obovata is an erect, slender shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and is glabrous. Its phyllodes are scattered, paddle-shaped to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, mostly Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in pairs or threes in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the rachis Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with bracts about Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the lobes more or less equal in length. The standard petal is egg-shaped with a notched tip, about Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide, and yellow and pale green. The wings are Шаблон:Cvt long and pale yellowish-green, and the keel is Шаблон:Cvt long and pale yellowish-green.

Taxonomy
Daviesia obovata was first described in 1853 by Nikolai Turczaninow in the Bulletin de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou.[4][5] The specific epithet (obovata) means "inverted egg-shaped".[6]
Distribution and habitat
Paddle-leaf daviesia grows in heath with Eucalyptus marginata and is restricted to the eastern Stirling Range and the Barren Range in the Esperance Plains biogeographic region.[2][3]
Conservation status
This daviesia is listed as "endangered" species under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and as "Threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife,[3] meaning that it is in danger of extinction.[7] A major threat to the species is dieback due to Phytophthora cinnamomi.[1]
