Oxylobium pulteneae, commonly known as wiry shaggy pea,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern New South Wales.

Oxylobium pulteneae is a low, spreading to prostrate shrub that usually grows to a height of 15–60 cm (5.9–23.6 in), and has stems with soft hairs.

Flowering occurs in late spring and summer, and the seed pods are about 10 mm (0.39 in) long and covered with soft hairs.

[2][3] Oxylobium pulteneae was first formally described in 1825 by Alphonse Pyramus de Candolle and the description was published in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.

[4][5] Wiry shaggy pea grows in forest, mainly in the Hunter Valley as far west as Goulburn River National Park and as far south as Wisemans Ferry.
