Description

Dillwynia stipulifera is an erect to spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 30–50 cm (12–20 in) with silky-hairy stems. The leaves are linear, 7–15 mm (0.28–0.59 in) long with stipules 0.5–1.5 mm (0.020–0.059 in) long. The flowers are arranged in pairs in leaf axils near the ends of branchlets, forming a spherical cluster. There are bracts and bracteoles 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long and the sepals are 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long. The standard petal is yellow with red markings, 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long but broader than long. [2] [3]

Taxonomy and naming

Dillwynia stipulifera was first formally described in 1939 by William Blakely in the journal The Australian Naturalist from specimens collected "between Clarence and Wolgan" by Joseph Maiden in 1906. [4]

Distribution and habitat

This dillwynia grows in swampy heath over sandstone near Lithgow and in the Budawang Range. It is one of the species present in the endangered Newnes Plateau Shrub Swamp ecological community. [2] [3] [5]
