Pultenaea daphnoides
Also called Large Leaved Bush Pea
Pultenaea daphnoides, commonly known as large-leaf bush-pea or large-leaf bitter-pea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is an erect shrub with egg-shaped to wedge-shaped leaves with a pointed tip, and dense clusters of bright yellow and red flowers.
Large-leaf bush-pea is a hardy, ornamental shrub and is useful as a feature plant or in an informal hedge, but should not be planted within 2 m (6 ft 7 in) of a sewer main.
This pultenaea grows in heath and forest from south-east Queensland, along the coast and tablelands of New South Wales, to Victoria where it is widespread and common except in the north-east of that state and Tasmania where it is also widespread and common. It also occurs in the south-east of South Australia, including on Kangaroo Island.
