Pultenaea alea is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is an erect shrub with linear leaves and pea-like flowers arranged near the ends of branchlets.
Pultenaea alea is an erect shrub with sparsely hairy stems. The leaves are linear , 4.5–10 mm (0.18–0.39 in) long and 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide with stipules 0.5–2 mm (0.020–0.079 in) long at the base, the upper and lower surfaces a similar shade of green. The flowers are borne among leaves at the ends of the branchlets, and are 7.5–15 mm (0.30–0.59 in) long, each flower on a pedicel up to about 10 mm (0.39 in) long with linear to egg-shaped bracteoles 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long at the base of the sepals. The sepals are 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long. Flowering occurs from August to March and the fruit is an oval pod 8–9 mm (0.31–0.35 in) long. [2]
