Daviesia corymbosa
Daviesia corymbosa is a native Australian shrub of sandstone woodland and heath, growing to about 2 m with showy red and yellow pea flowers in spring. It is rarely cultivated; the key is well-drained soil in sun or dappled shade.
Daviesia corymbosa, also known as narrow leaf bitter pea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae native to the state of New South Wales in eastern Australia. A shrub to 2 m (6.6 ft) high, it grows in sandstone soils in open eucalyptus woodland or heath. It produces showy flowerheads of red and yellow flowers in the spring and early summer.
Peas of the genus Daviesia are only rarely grown in cultivation. A showy plant when in flower, D. corymbosa can grow in well-drained soils in sun or dappled shade. It can be propagated by seed to cuttings.
Daviesia corymbosa is endemic to New South Wales, where it is found on sandstone soils east of the Great Dividing Range from Myall Lakes to Green Cape. The habitat is dry sclerophyll forest or heath. Associated species include red bloodwood (Corymbia gummifera), yellow bloodwood (C. eximia), narrow-leaved apple (Angophora bakeri), smooth-barked apple (A. costata), and silvertop ash (Eucalyptus sieberi), and watergum (Tristaniopsis laurina) and scrub beefwood (Stenocarpus salignus) along creeks.
