Pultenaea stipularis is an erect shrub that typically grow to a height of 0.8–2 m (2 ft 7 in – 6 ft 7 in) and has glabrous stems. The leaves are arranged alternately, linear to narrow elliptic, 15–26 mm (0.59–1.02 in) long and 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide with stipules 7.8–9.3 mm (0.31–0.37 in) long at the base. The flowers are arranged in dense clusters at the ends of branches and are 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long with overlapping bracts at the base. The sepals are 7.5–8.5 mm (0.30–0.33 in) long, joined at the base, and there are linear to triangular bracteoles 5.7–6.8 mm (0.22–0.27 in) long attached to the side of the sepal tube. The standard petal is yellow to orange with red markings and 8.5–12.5 mm (0.33–0.49 in) long, the wings are yellow to orange and 8.2–12.3 mm (0.32–0.48 in) long and the keel is yellow to reddish-brown and 8.0–11.2 mm (0.31–0.44 in) long. Flowering occurs from August to November and the fruit is a pod about 6.5 mm (0.26 in) long. [2] [3]
