Pultenaea vrolandii

Pultenaea vrolandii, commonly known as cupped bush-pea,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia.

It is an erect shrub with hairy, arching branchlets, elliptic to egg-shaped leaves, and yellow to orange and red to brown flowers.

The flowers are arranged near the ends of branches, each flower on a pedicel 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long with slightly enlarged stipules at the base and round, sticky bracteoles about 3–4.5 mm (0.12–0.18 in) long attached to the base of the sepal tube.

Flowering occurs from October to December and the fruit is a hairy pod about 5 mm (0.20 in) long.

[2][3][4][5] Pultenaea vrolandii was first formally described in 1905 by Joseph Maiden in The Victorian Naturalist from specimens collected "on the summit of a granite hill ... in the Strathbogie Ranges, Victoria" by Mr. Anton Vroland of Strathbogie State School.
