Hovea magnibractea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It is a shrub with narrowly oblong to lorate (strap-shaped)[2] leaves, and mauve and yellow, pea-like flowers.

Hovea magnibractea is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in), its branchlets densely covered with short brown hairs.

The flowers have egg-shaped bracts 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long and similar bracteoles at the base.

[3][4] Hovea magnibractea was first formally described in 2001 by Ian R. Thompson in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected by James Henderson Ross near the summit of Mount Elizabeth in 1986.
