Description

Carmichaelia williamsii is the only yellow-flowered native broom, and it is distinguished from the introduced broom ( Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link) by its light green, much wider, and more flattened branches, together with its larger, pale-yellow flowers which have purple or red veins, and its late-winter flowering (July to October, though flowering can occur throughout the year). [4]

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Thomas Kirk in 1880. [2] [3] The earliest record in AVH, SP026354 was collected by Bishop William Williams in 1879 somewhere in the North Island, [5] and for whom Kirk named it. [3]

Habitat

It is a coastal species found in open forest, scrub, cliff faces and on scree. [4]
