Description

Daviesia glossosema is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has spreading, tangled branches with glaucous foliage. Its leaves are reduced to scattered, erect, needle-shaped, sharply-pointed phyllodes Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in racemes of two to five on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the rachis Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with bracts about Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are about Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base with minute teeth. The petals are maroon, the standard egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and curved backwards, the wings about Шаблон:Cvt long and curved inwards exposing the keel and stamens, and the keel is about Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from September to November and the fruit is an inflated triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Daviesia glossosema was first formally described in 1995 by Michael Crisp in Australian Systematic Botany.[5] The specific epithet (glossosema) is derived from words meaning "tongue" and "standard", referring to the unusual shape of that petal.[1]

Distribution and habitat

Maroon-flowered daviesia grows in heath in a small area of the Stirling Range in the south-west of Western Australia.[1][2][3]

Conservation status

Daviesia glossosema is listed as "Threatened Flora (Declared Rare Flora — Extant)" by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and an Interim Recovery Plan has been prepared.[1][2]
