Jacksonia furcellata

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

[3][2] This species was first formally described in 1813 by Aimé Bonpland who gave it the name Gompholobium furcellatum in his Description des Plantes Rares cultivees a Malmaison et a Navarre.

[4][5] In 1825, Augustin Pyramus de Candolle transferred the species to Jacksonia as J. furcellata in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.

[6] The specific epithet (furcellata) means 'a small, two-pronged fork', referring to the branchlets.

[7] Jacksonia furcellata grows in heath or woodland, often in winter-wet areas and is widespread between Dandaragan, the south-west corner of Western Australia, and east to the Lort River but absent for coastal areas between Augusta and Denmark, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren of south-western Western Australia.
