Description

Daviesia laevis is a slender, open, erect shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, and usually has arching branchlets. Its phyllodes are scattered, narrowly elliptic to linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in up to three groups of five to ten in leaf axils on peduncles Шаблон:Cvt long, the rachis usually Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the upper two lobes joined for most of their length and the lower three triangular and about Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard petal is egg-shaped with a notched tip, Шаблон:Cvt long and orange-yellow with a brownish-red centre, the wings Шаблон:Cvt long and brownish-red with a yellow tip, and the keel Шаблон:Cvt long and dull red.

Taxonomy and naming

Daviesia inflata was first formally described in 1991 by Michael Crisp in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected in the Mount Difficult Range in 1989.[3] The specific epithet (laevis) means "smooth".[4]

Distribution and habitat

This daviesia grows in sheltered montane gullies, in open forest or tea-tree thickets near streams and is found in isolated populations in the Grampians and nearby ranges of Victoria.[1][2]

Conservation status

Daviesia laevis is listed as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Victorian Government Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988, and a National Recovery Plan has been prepared. The main threats to the species include inappropriate fire regimes, grazing by kangaroos and its low population size.[2][5]
