Bossiaea vombata, commonly known as wombat bossiaea,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Wombat State Forest in Victoria, Australia. It is an erect shrub with flattened cladodes and yellow, pea-like flowers.

Description

Bossiaea vombata is a more or less glabrous, rhizome-forming shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt. The branches are flattened and winged, ending in greyish-green cladodes Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves are reduced to scales Шаблон:Cvt long and up to Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are Шаблон:Cvt long and arranged singly on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with broadly egg-shaped bracts up to Шаблон:Cvt long and egg-shaped, brown bracteoles Шаблон:Cvt long but that fall off as the flower opens. The five sepals are 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 uniformly yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the wings yellow and Шаблон:Cvt long, and the keel yellowish-white and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs in October and fruit is rarely produced.[2][3][4][5]

Taxonomy

Bossiaea vombata was first formally described in 2008 by James Henderson Ross in the journal Muelleria from specimens he collected in the Wombat State Forest in 1995.[3][6] The specific epithet (vombata) refers to the name of the state forest where this species is endemic.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Wombat bossiaea is only known from the Wombat State Forest near Daylesford where it grows in open forest.[1][2]

This bossiaea is classified as "endangered" under the Victorian Government Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988.[1][2]
