Bossiaea rupicola
Bossiaea rupicola is an erect shrub or small tree from eastern Australia, growing 2 to 4 m tall with red and yellow pea flowers. It is grown as a native garden plant in open, well-drained positions and is best suited to climates similar to its home range.
Bossiaea rupicola is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect shrub or small tree with silky-hairy, narrow egg-shaped to narrow elliptic leaves and red flowers with yellow markings.
This pea grows in open forest, woodland and heathland, often between rocks and mostly occurs on the McPherson Range near the New South Wales - Queensland border, but also in the Kroombit Tops National Park and near Biloela and Biggenden further north.
