Bossiaea armitii is an erect, rhizomatous, leafless shrub [3] in the pea family (Fabaceae), and is native to Queensland. [4]
Bossiaea armitii grows to about 3 m, with cladodes up to about 40 mm wide. The inflorescence bearing cladodes are smooth except for hairs on the margin immediately above the axil. Cladodes are green/greyish at flowering. In profile new growth is elliptic. [3] The ovate bracteoles are persistent. [3] It flowers from summer to autumn and the yellow flowers [3] are about 20 mm long. [5] The pods are smooth with minute ridging along the suture. [3]
It occurs in far north Queensland to as far south as Charters Towers, and grows in woodland and shrubland, often along rivers and among rocks. [3]
The species was first described as Bossiaea armitii in 1875 by von Mueller. [1] [2] The accepted description is now that of Holland & Pedley (2010). [1] [6] There are no synonyms. [4] [1] The lectotype is MEL 651099 and isolectotypes are: MEL 651100, MEL 651101. [1] [3]
