Pultenaea
Also called Bush Peas, Bush Peas.
Pultenaea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes 127 species which are endemic to Australia. Plants in this genus are shrubs with simple leaves and orange or yellow flowers similar to others in the family but with the standard petal equal to or slightly longer than the other petals.
A number of species are cultivated for their spring flower display. Most of these are fast-growing and adaptable to diverse growing conditions. Propagation is from semi-mature cuttings or seed pre-treated by soaking in hot water.
Three cultivars are registered with the Australian Cultivar Registration Authority:
Species of Pultenaea occur in all Australian states and the Australian Capital Territory but not the Northern Territory.
