Jacksonia reclinata is a small, spreading to prostrate, spindly shrub from the Northern Territory that bears lemon-yellow pea flowers. It is a wild species of sandstone escarpments and is rarely grown in gardens, so there is little cultivation guidance.
Jacksonia reclinata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the Northern Territory. It is a spreading to prostrate, spindly shrub with yellowish-green branches, the end branches sharply-pointed phylloclades, leaves reduced to reddish-brown, egg-shaped or narrowly egg-shaped scales, lemon-yellow flowers, and membranous, densely hairy, elliptic pods.
This species of Jacksonia grows in shrubland or woodland on sandstone escarpments in Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land in the Arnhem Coast, Arnhem Plateau, Central Arnhem, Darwin Coastal, Pine Creek and Victoria Bonaparte bioregions of the Northern Territory.
