Bossiaea smithiorum is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a slender shrub with oblong to cylindrical leaves and orange-yellow and red or purple, pea-like flowers.

Description

Bossiaea smithiorum is a slender shrub that typically grows up to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide with ridged branchlets. The leaves are oblong to almost cylindrical, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long with the edges curved down or rolled under. The flowers are arranged singly or in pairs, each flower on a hairy pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long, with oblong to broadly egg-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. There are similar bracteoles on the pedicels but that fall off as the flower develops. The five sepals are more or less glabrous and joined at the base, forming a tube Шаблон:Cvt long, the two upper lobes Шаблон:Cvt long and the lower lobes slightly shorter. The standard petal is orange-yellow with a red or purplish base, and Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings are red or purple with yellow tips and Шаблон:Cvt long, and the keel yellow with a red or purplish tip and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from July to September and the fruit is a flattened pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Bossiaea smithiorum was first formally described in 1994 by James Henderson Ross in the journal Muelleria from specimens collected near Wattengutten Hill, east of Wongan Hills in 1993.[2][3] The specific epithet (smithiorum) honours Basil and Mary Smith for their contributions to the study of the genus Bossiaea.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This bossiaea grows in low Eucalyptus woodland, often in the runoff zone near granite outcrops in the Avon Wheatbelt and Mallee biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

Bossiaea smithiorum is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[1]
