Gompholobium pungens is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, openly-branched shrub with spiny stems, pinnate leaves and mostly yellow, pea-like flowers with pink or purple markings.
Gompholobium pungens is an erect, openly-branched shrub that typically grows to 50–70 cm (20–28 in) high and up to 40 m (130 ft) wide and has spiny stems. Its leaves are 17–72 mm (0.67–2.83 in) long and pinnate with eight to seventeen cylindrical leaflets. Each flower is borne on a hairy pedicel 7.0–7.2 mm (0.28–0.28 in) long with hairy bracteoles 1.2–1.5 mm (0.047–0.059 in) long. The sepals are about 8 mm (0.31 in) long, the standard petal is yellow to orange with pink or purple markings and about 7.6 mm (0.30 in) long, the wings about 7 mm (0.28 in) long, and the keel about 6.5 mm (0.26 in) long. Flowering occurs from August to September and the fruit is a pod about 7 mm (0.28 in) long. [2]
Gompholobium pungens was first formally described in 2008 by Jennifer Anne Chappill in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected near Warradarge in 1999. [3] The specific epithet (pungens) means "ending in a sharp, hard point". [4]
