Pultenaea grayi, commonly known as Murrumbidgee bossiaea,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Australian Capital Territory. It is an erect shrub with flattened, winged, glabrous cladodes, leaves reduced to small scales, and pea-like, yellow and red flowers.

Description

Bossiaea grayi is an erect, rhizome-forming shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt. The flowers are borne on flattened, winged, more or less erect cladodes up to Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves are reduced to reddish-brown scales, Шаблон:Cvt long and pressed against the cladode. The flowers are borne singly at nodes on the cladode, each on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with overlapping, dark brown bracts up to Шаблон:Cvt long, at the base. The five sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base forming a tube with more or less equal lobes Шаблон:Cvt long. There are also bracteoles but that fall off before the flower opens. The standard petal is deep yellow with a red base and Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings yellow with a red base and about Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel is dark red and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs in September and October and the fruit is an oblong pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Bossiaea grayi was first formally described in 2009 by Keith Leonard McDougall in the journal Telopea from specimens collected near the Murrumbidgee River, downstream from the Kambah Pool in 1980.[2][5] The specific epithet (grayi) honours the retired taxonomist Max Gray.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Murrumbidgee bossiaea grows in woodland on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River and its tributaries in the Australian Capital Territory.[1][2][3]

Conservation status

Bossiaea grayi is listed as "endangered" under the Australian Capital Territory Government Nature Conservation Act 2014.[1]
