Description

Bossiaea preissii is a compact, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt with side shoots ending in a sharp point. The leaves are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, or elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long with narrow triangular stipules Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The flowers are arranged singly on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long, with one or a few bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. There are oblong bracteoles Шаблон:Cvt long on the pedicels. The five sepals are joined at the base, forming a tube Шаблон:Cvt long, the lobes Шаблон:Cvt but the two upper lobes much broader than the lower lobes. The standard petal is red or yellow, orange or apricot with a red or orange base and Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings Шаблон:Cvt long, and the keel is pinkish or yellow and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from May to October and the fruit is an oblong pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Bossiaea preissii was first formally described in 1844 by Carl Meissner in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from specimens collected at Cape Riche in 1840.[2][3][4] The specific epithet (preissii) honours Ludwig Preiss.[5]

Distribution and habitat

This bossiaea usually grows in sand on dunes along the coast and in gravelly soils in low scrub or heathland further inland, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions of southern Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

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