About

Daviesia schwarzenegger is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a dense, mounded shrub with sharply-pointed phyllodes and yellow and dark red flowers, and resembles Daviesia devito apart from its more robust growth habit and the surface of its dried foliage.

Where it grows

Daviesia schwarzenegger grows in mallee and woodland in scattered populations from the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, to the area between Charlton and Rushworth in Victoria, and to near Condobolin in New South Wales.
