Hovea graniticola

Hovea graniticola is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia.

It is a shrub with its branchlets covered with curly brownish to grey hairs, narrowly oblong to almost linear leaves with stipules at the base, and mauve, pea-like flowers.

Hovea graniticola is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in), its branchlets covered with brownish to grey, curly and straight hairs up to 1 mm (0.039 in) long.

[2] Hovea graniticola was first formally described in 2001 by Ian R. Thompson in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected by James Henderson Ross near Jollys Falls, west of The Summit in 1986.

[4] This species of pea grows in forest on soil derived from granite, from south-east Queensland to near Tamworth in New South Wales.
