Description

Daviesia articulata is a rigid, low-lying or erect shrub that typically grows up to Шаблон:Cvt and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Its leaves are reduced to scattered, tapering cylindrical, sharply-pointed phyllodes, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in groups of up to five in leaf axils on a peduncle about Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with oblong or spatula-shaped bracts at the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long, the two upper joined in a broad "lip" and the lower three smaller and triangular. The standard petal is curved backwards, yellow with a red base and bright yellow centre and about Шаблон:Cvt long, the wings red with yellow tips and about Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel dark red and about Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from August to December and the fruit is a flattened triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Daviesia articulata was first formally described in 1995 by Michael Crisp in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected east of Ravensthorpe in 1979.[2][3] The specific epithet (articulata) means "jointed", referring to the base of the phyllode.[4]

Distribution and habitat

This species of pea mainly grows in woodland or mallee in the area between Kellerberrin, Kojonup, the Stirling Range and Salmon Gums in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions in the south-west of Western Australia.[1][2]
