About Pultenaea microphylla Sieber ex DC.
Pultenaea microphylla Sieber ex DC. is an erect to prostrate shrub that usually grows up to 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches) tall, and has softly hairy stems. Its leaves are arranged alternately, and are linear to narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end toward the base. Each leaf is 2 to 15 millimetres long, 1 to 2 millimetres wide, and has a small point at its tip. Flowers grow singly or in clusters of up to ten near the ends of branchlets. Each flower is around 5 to 10 millimetres long, borne on a pedicel 1.0 to 1.5 millimetres long. Hairy, narrow triangular bracteoles 1 to 3 millimetres long attach to the base of the sepal tube. The sepals are 2.5 to 6 millimetres long and hairy. The standard petal is yellow with red markings, and 7 to 12 millimetres long; the wing petals are yellow, and the keel is dark red. Flowering takes place from September to December, and the fruit is a flat pod 3 to 5 millimetres long. This species of pultenaea grows in woodland and forest. It is widespread across the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and south-eastern Queensland. There is only one known record of this species from Tubbut, in far north-eastern Victoria.
