Description

Daviesia oppositifolia is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has many stems. Its phyllodes are often arranged in opposite pairs, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, mostly Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged in leaf axils in one or two groups of five to ten flowers surrounded by three large involucral bracts, green at first, later deep copper-maroon. The groups are 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 Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the upper two lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long and the lower three Шаблон:Cvt long. The standard petal is elliptic with a notched tip, about Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide, and yellow with a maroon base around a yellow centre. The wings are Шаблон:Cvt long and maroon with yellow tips, and the keel is Шаблон:Cvt long and maroon. Flowering occurs from March to November and the fruit is a flattened triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[2][1]
