Bossiaea heterophylla is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to about Шаблон:Cvt and has flattened, glaucous, more or less glabrous branches Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves are arranged in two rows along the stems, variably-shaped, linear to broadly egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with triangular stipules up to Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The flowers are Шаблон:Cvt long and arranged singly along the branches, each flower on a pedicel up to Шаблон:Cvt long with a few bracts up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long with bracteoles up to Шаблон:Cvt long on the pedicel. The standard petal is yellow-orange with a red back and up to Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings Шаблон:Cvt wide and yellow sometimes flushed with pink and the keel is Шаблон:Cvt wide and dark red.

Taxonomy

Bossiaea heterophylla was first formally described in 1800 by Étienne Pierre Ventenat in his book, Description des Plantes Nouvelles et peu connues, cultivées dans le Jardin de J.M. Cels, from specimens grown by Jacques Philippe Martin Cels, in turn grown from material collected from Botany Bay in 1792. The specific epithet (heterophylla) means "unequal-leaved".

Distribution and habitat

Variable bossiaea grows in a variety of habitats, usually in sandy soils and occurs on the coast and nearby tablelands south from Bundaberg in Queensland, through New South Wales to Victoria as far west as Rosedale. It also occurs in two small populations in northern Tasmania.

Conservation status

This bossiaea is listed as "endangered" in Tasmania under the Tasmanian Government Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.
