Description
Daviesia ovata is a dense, bushy shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt with erect, prominently ridges branchlets. Its phyllodes are scattered, erect and egg-shaped to elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in leaf axils in groups of eight to eleven flowers on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the rachis Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the upper two with lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long and the lower three lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard petal is elliptic with a notched tip, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide, and orange with a red ring around a yellow centre. The wings are Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel about Шаблон:Cvt long and maroon. Flowering occurs in September and the fruit is a triangular pod about Шаблон:Cvt long.[2][1]
Taxonomy
Daviesia ovata was first described in 1864 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3][4] The specific epithet (ovata) means "wider below the middle".[5]
Distribution and habitat
Broad-leaf daviesia grows among granite rocks in low mallee-heath or shrubland near Mount Manypeaks, east of Albany in the Esperance Plains biogeographic region of south-western Western Australia.[1][2]
Conservation status
This daviesia is listed as "Threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife,[1] meaning that it is in danger of extinction.[6]
