Description

Dillwynia parvifolia is a spreading to erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1.0 m (1 ft 0 in – 3 ft 3 in) and has tiny hairs on the stems. The leaves are twisted, narrow oblong, 1.5–4 mm (0.059–0.157 in) long and glabrous. The flowers are arranged in umbels of up to six on a peduncle up to 3 mm (0.12 in) long with bracts and bracteoles 0.5–1.0 mm (0.020–0.039 in) long. The sepals are 3.5–4.0 mm (0.14–0.16 in) long and glabrous and the standard petal is 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long and yellow with red markings. The fruit is a pod 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long. [2]
