About

Pultenaea elusa, commonly known as elusive bush-pea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a small area of New South Wales. It is a low shrub with sharply-pointed linear leaves, and dense clusters of yellow to orange and red to purple flowers. It has not been seen since 1938.

Where it grows

This pultenaea grows in swamps at an altitude of about 600 m (2,000 ft), but is only known from the two collections made by William Blakely in 1938.
