Bossiaea armitii is an erect, rhizomatous, leafless shrub[3] in the pea family (Fabaceae), and is native to Queensland.[4] DescriptionBossiaea armitii grows to about 3 m, with cladodes up to about 40 mm wide. The inflorescence bearing cladodes are smooth except for hairs on the margin immediately above the axil. Cladodes are green/greyish at flowering. In profile new growth is elliptic.[3] The ovate bracteoles are persistent.[3] It flowers from summer to autumn and the yellow flowers[3] are about 20 mm long.[5] The pods are smooth with minute ridging along the suture.[3] DistributionIt occurs in far north Queensland to as far south as Charters Towers, and grows in woodland and shrubland, often along rivers and among rocks.[3] TaxonomyThe species was first described as Bossiaea armitii in 1875 by von Mueller.[1][2] The accepted description is now that of Holland & Pedley (2010).[1][6] There are no synonyms.[4][1] The lectotype is MEL 651099 and isolectotypes are: MEL 651100, MEL 651101.[1][3] References
