The flowers are arranged singly or in pairs on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with narrow egg-shaped bracts up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are joined at the base forming a tube about Шаблон:Cvt long, the two upper lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long and the lower three lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long with narrow egg-shaped bracteoles Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The standard petal is deep yellow with a red base and about Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel yellowish and Шаблон:Cvt long.

Taxonomy and naming

Bossiaea barrettiorum was first formally described in 2006 by James Henderson Ross in the journal Muelleria, from specimens collected by Matthew David Barrett near the Prince Regent River in 2001.[2][3] The specific epithet (barrettiorum) honours the collector of the type specimens.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This bossiaea is only known from two populations north of the Prince Regent River, growing in sand between sandstone rocks in the North Kimberley biogeographic region of northern Western Australia.[1][2]
