Chorizema obtusifolium is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the coast of southern Western Australia.
It is an erect, spreading or trailing shrub with leathery, linear leaves, and orange, pinkish-orange and red pea flowers.
[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1827 by Robert Sweet who gave it the name Oxylobium obtusifolium in his Flora Australasica from specimens raised at Clapton Nursery by John Bain Mackay, from seed collected near King George Sound by William Baxter.
[4][5] In 1992, Joan M. Taylor and Michael Crisp transferred the species to Chorizema as C. obtusifolium in Australian Systematic Botany.
[6] Chorizema obtusifolium grows on flats and sand dunes in near-coastal areas from near Jerramungup to Cape Arid National Park in the Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions of southern Western Australia.
