Gompholobium latifolium
Broadleaf wedge pea is an erect, hairless Australian shrub up to about 3 m tall with large yellow pea flowers in spring and early summer. It grows best in well-drained, sandy soil in sun or light shade, and seed (scarified or boiled first) is the usual way to raise it.
Gompholobium latifolium, commonly known as golden glory pea or giant wedge-pea, is a flowering plant in the pea family (Fabaceae) and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a small shrub with leaves composed of three leaflets and which has relatively large yellow flowers in spring and early summer.
Golden glory pea grows in dry sclerophyll forest in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria in sandy soil. It is most common in New South Wales, where it is widespread along the coast and nearby ranges. It is uncommon in Victoria.
Although a desirable horticultural species with its large yellow pea flowers, G. latifolium is uncommon in gardens. It can be propagated easily from seed but viable seeds are often hard to obtain. The seeds must be boiled or scratched before they will germinate.
