Jacksonia floribunda

Jacksonia floribunda, commonly known as holly pea,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is a prostrate, low-lying, erect or upright shrub with egg-shaped, elliptic or oblong phylloclades with sharply-pointed lobes, leaves reduced to scales and yellow-orange flowers with red markings in long, dense clusters, with scale leaves at the base.

[2][3] Jacksonia floribunda was first formally described in 1838 by Stephan Endlicher in his Stirpium Australasicarum Herbarii Hugeliani Decades Tres from specimens collected between King George Sound and the Swan River Colony by John Septimus Roe.

[6] This species of Jacksonia grows in shrubland or woodland in deep sand over Laterite and is widespread from north of Geraldton to south of Perth and inland as far as Corrigin in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][3] This species is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
