About

Persoonia isophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to New South Wales, Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub with soft, pine-like leaves and groups of cylindrical yellow flowers. It is similar to P. pinifolia but the flowers of that species have small leaves at their base, where the flowers of P. isophylla have full-sized leaves at their base. The two species sometimes grow together but hybrids between them are rare.

Where it grows

This persoonia grows in sandy soils derived from Sydney sandstone at altitudes up to 250 m (800 ft) between Gosford and Frenchs Forest.
