Description

Bossiaea disticha is a weak shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt high, with thin weak, hairy branchlets. The leaves are arranged alternately, oblong to egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole up to Шаблон:Cvt long with a narrow egg-shaped stipule up to Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The flowers are usually arranged singly or in pairs, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with egg-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long attached. The five sepals are joined at the base forming a tube Шаблон:Cvt long, the two upper lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and the three lower lobes Шаблон:Cvt long. There are bracteoles Шаблон:Cvt long at the base of the sepal tube. The standard petal is bright yellow with a red base and Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings yellow with a purpish-brown base and Шаблон:Cvt long, the keel greenish-white with a red tip and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from September to November and the fruit is an oblong pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Bossiaea disticha was first formally described in 1841 by John Lindley in Edwards's Botanical Register. Lindley described it as "A pretty little shrub, raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society from Swan River seed, presented by Capt. James Mangles R.N. and flowering in March".[3][4] The specific epithet (disticha) means "in two rows", referring to the leaves.[5]

Distribution and habitat

This bossiaea is common in the understorey of forest, woodland and heath from near Ellen Brook in the north to Cape Leeuwin, in the Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions of far south-western Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

Bossiaea disticha is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[1]
