Hovea lanceolata is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is a small shrub with elliptic leaves and purple pea flowers. It grows in New South Wales and Queensland.

Description

Hovea lanceolata is shrub to Шаблон:Cvt tall, most of the plant has curly, dense greyish brown hairs, occasionally spreading and straight. The leaves are mostly lanceolate in shape, though sometimes elliptic or narrow-oblong, flat margins, rounded at the base to almost pointed, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, juvenile leaves longer and broader, apex variable, may be rounded, pointed or notched. The upper surface of the leaves is either green and shiny or greyish and dull, lower leaf surface with coiled grey-brown hairs. At the base of the leaf there are narrow-ovate to lance shaped stipules 1.0–3.2 mm (0.039–0.126 in) long, often tapering gradually to a point at the apex. The inflorescence usually consists of 1-3 blue-purple pea shaped flowers Шаблон:Cvt long on a short peduncle mostly Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers with bracts are joined about Шаблон:Cvt from the base of the pedicel, narrowly oval shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, and overlapping the smaller bracts or nearly so. The standard petal is Шаблон:Cvt long usually with yellow-greenish markings Шаблон:Cvt wide, the wings Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and the keel Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Flowering occurs in September and October and the fruit is a round pod Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt deep, shiny with occasional light coloured hairs.[1][2]
