Daviesia buxifolia is an open, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, often with weeping branches. Its leaves are reduced to often crowded, egg-shaped to round phyllodes Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Juvenile phyllodes are slightly larger than the adult leaves. The flowers are arranged in groups of four to seven in leaf axils on a peduncleШаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicelШаблон:Cvt long, the rachisШаблон:Cvt long with narrow oblong bracts about Шаблон:Cvt long on the pedicels. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the two upper lobes forming a broad lip and the lower three triangular. The standard petal is broadly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, about Шаблон:Cvt long and wide and yellow or orange-yellow with brownish maroon markings. The wings are Шаблон:Cvt long and brownish maroon with yellow edges, and the keel is about Шаблон:Cvt long and brownish maroon. Flowering occurs in October and November and the fruit is a flattened, triangular podШаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3]
