Leptosema chambersii
Leptosema chambersii, commonly known as Chamber's leptosema, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to inland areas of western Australia. It is a low shrub growing in small, dense clumps, covered with silky hairs, spiny branchlets, leaves reduced to egg-shaped scales, red flowers and beaked, broadly elliptic pods.
This species of Leptosema grows in on red sand on sand dunes and sandplains in hummock grassland, mainly dominated by Triodia basedowii in the Eremaean province of Western Australia, the southern half of the Northern Territory and the north-western corner of South Australia.
