Bossiaea riparia, commonly known as river leafless bossiaea,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is an erect or low-lying shrub with flattened branches, linear young cladodes, leaves mostly reduced to small scales, and yellow and red flowers.

Description

Bossiaea riparia is an erect or low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt, and has flattened winged stems, the cladodes Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves are reduced to small scales about Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are arranged singly or in small groups in recesses on the side of the cladodes, each flower Шаблон:Cvt long on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long with five or six bracts up to Шаблон:Cvt long at the base and bracteoles about Шаблон:Cvt long near the middle of the pedicel. The five sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base forming a tube, the upper lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the lower lobes shorter and narrower. The standard petal is yellow with a red base and about Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings are yellow or brownish-red and Шаблон:Cvt wide, and the keel is red and about Шаблон:Cvt wide. Flowering occurs from August to December and the fruit is a narrow oblong or elliptic pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3][4][5]

Taxonomy

Bossiaea riparia was first formally described in 1864 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham.[6] The specific epithet (riparia) means "frequenting the banks of rivers or streams".[7]

Distribution and habitat

River leafless bossiaea grows in woodland and forest south from the Australian Capital Territory and the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales to scattered locations in Victoria and Tasmania.[1][3][4][8]
