Bossiaea saxosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted area near Norseman, Western Australia. It is an erect, intricately branched shrub with many slightly flattened, sharply-pointed cladodes and deep yellow, red and lemon-yellow, pea-like flowers.

Description

Bossiaea saxosa is an erect, intricately-branched shrub that typically grows up to Шаблон:Cvt high and wide with hairy young growth. The branches are slightly flattened, ending in sharply pointed cladodes Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves, when present, are reduced to dark, reddish-brown scales Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are arranged singly at nodes along the cladodes, each flower on a hairy pedicel up to Шаблон:Cvt long with egg-shaped bracts up to Шаблон:Cvt long at the base and egg-shaped bracteoles Шаблон:Cvt long on the pedicels. The five sepals are hairy and joined at the base, forming a tube Шаблон:Cvt long, the two upper lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and the lower lobes Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard petal is deep yellow with a red base and Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings deep yellow and Шаблон:Cvt long, and the keel lemon-yellow and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from September to early October and the fruit is an oblong pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Bossiaea saxosa was first formally described in 1994 by James Henderson Ross in the journal Muelleria from specimens he collected near Norseman in 2000.[2][3] The specific epithet (saxosa) means "of rocky or stony places".[2]

Distribution and habitat

This bossiaea is only known from a small area north of Norseman where it grows in woodland.[1][2]

Conservation status

Bossiaea saxosa is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[1] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[4]
