Daviesia microphylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an openly-branched, sprawling shrub with spiny branchlets, crowded, sharply-pointed, egg-shaped phyllodes, and orange, dark red and maroon flowers.

Description

Daviesia microphylla is an openly-branched, sprawling shrub, typically up to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide with sharply-ridged, spiny branchlets. Its phyllodes are crowded, partly overlapping, vertically flattened, egg-shaped and sharply pointed, mostly Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils on a peduncle mostly Шаблон:Cvt long with bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the two upper lobes joined for most of their length, the three lower lobes triangular and up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard petal is broadly egg-shaped with a notched tip, Шаблон:Cvt long and orange with a dark red sentre, the wings Шаблон:Cvt long and maroon, and the keel about Шаблон:Cvt long and maroon. Flowering occurs from June to August and the fruit is an inflated, triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Daviesia microphylla was first formally described in 1864 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3][4] The specific epithet (microphylla) means "small-leaved", referring to the phyllodes.[5]

Distribution and habitat

This daviesia grows in woodland or low heath and is found in the eastern Darling Range, but had a more extensive range in the past.[1][2]
