Persoonia saccata, commonly known as snottygobble (although this name is used for several other species), and cadgeegurrup in indigenous language,[2] is a plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It is usually an erect shrub and has linear leaves and groups of up to fifty or more irregularly shaped, yellow flowers which are hairy on the outside.
It usually grows in woodland dominated by jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata), marri (Corymbia calophylla) or large Banksia species.
The flower is composed of four bright yellow, hairy tepals 9–14 mm (0.4–0.6 in) long, which are fused at the base but with the tips rolled back.
[3][4] Persoonia saccata was first formally described in 1830 by Robert Brown and the description was published in Supplementum primum Prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae.
[3] Persoonia saccata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.
