rigida Rodway Bossiaea tasmanica is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Tasmania.

It is a prostrate or low-lying shrub with spiny branches, elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, and yellow and red to pink flowers.

Flowering occurs in November and December and the fruit is a more or less oblong pod about 15 mm (0.59 in) long.

[2][3] This bossiaea is closely related to B. obcordata, but differs from it in being more prostrate, and in having branchlets that are more wax-encrusted with blunter spines, narrower leaves and a hairy sepals and fruit.

[4][5] In 2012, Ian Thompson revised the genus, Bossiaea, and raised this taxon to species status.
