Flower detail

Daviesia speciosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low, erect, spindly, glabrous shrub with needle-shaped phyllodes almost indistinguishable from the branchlets, and red flowers.

Description

Daviesia speciosa is an erect, spindly, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of up to Шаблон:Cvt and has many erect stems. Its phyllodes are tapering needle-shaped, almost indistinguishable from the branchlets and sharply pointed, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flowers are arranged singly or in pairs in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the rachis Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a thread-like pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with linear bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are about Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the five lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are red, and apparently bird-pollinated, the standard petal egg-shaped, turned back through a small angle, about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The wings are Шаблон:Cvt long, and the keel Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs in April and May.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Daviesia speciosa was first formally described in 1995 by Michael Crisp in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected in 1958 by Charles Chapman near Eneabba.[1][3] The specific epithet (speciosa) means "showy".[4]

Distribution and habitat

This daviesia grows in heath between Eneabba and Mingenew in the Avon Wheatbelt and Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[1][2]
