Podolobium aciculiferum

Podolobium aciculiferum, commonly known as needle shaggy-pea,[2] is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and endemic to eastern Australia.

The yellow-orange pea flowers are borne singly or in axillary racemes and the corolla 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in) long.

Flowering occurs in late spring and summer and the fruit is an oval to oblong shaped pod 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long, curved and hairy or smooth.

[2] Podolobium aciculiferum was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller and the description was published in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.

[4] Needle shaggy-pea grows in wet locations in sclerophyll forests and rainforest margins, usually in stony situations on escarpments and the coast north of Nerrigundah.
