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

It has oblong to egg-shaped leaves and yellow to orange pea-like flowers with red markings.

Podolobium alpestre is an ascending or low spreading shrub to 1.3 mm (0.051 in) high with young stems covered in soft, short hairs.

The leaves are arranged in whorls of three or opposite, egg-shaped to broad-oblong, 1–5 cm (0.39–1.97 in) long and 3–14 mm (0.12–0.55 in) wide.

[2][3][4] Podolobium alpestre was first formally described 1855 by Ferdinand von Mueller and the description was published in Definitions of rare or hitherto undescribed Australian Plants, chiefly collected within the boundaries of the colony of Victoria.
