Daviesia ulicifolia, commonly known as gorse bitter-pea,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

Daviesia ulicifolia is a rigid, openly-branched shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) and has spiny branchlets.

Flowering occurs from August to October, depending on elevation and latitude, and the fruit is a flattened triangular pod 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long.

[8][9] The specific epithet (ulicifolia) means "gorse-leaved", referring to the distribution of this leucopogon, compared to others in the genus.

[10] In 1997, Gregory T. Chandler and Michael Crisp described six subspecies of D. ulicifolia in Australian Systematic Botany, and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Gorse bitter-pea is widely distributed in Australia, where it grows in open forest in all six states, but not the Northern Territory.
