''Daviesia alata'' is a low sprawling shrub found in eastern Australia. It may reach 40 cm tall and one metre in diameter. The habitat is heathland or dry eucalyptus woodland on poor soils. It ranges from the Budawang Range in the south to Nelson Bay on the coast of New South Wales. This species lacks leaves as such, which may be reduced to scales. The stems are triangular in cross section. The specific epithet ''alata'' is from Latin, and it refers to the winged edges of the branchlets.〔Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, ISBN 978-0-7318-1211-0 page 75〕 Flowers are somewhat darker than most of the Australian yellow and red pea flowers. They form in clusters in spring and early summer. The pea pods are around 10 mm long and 7 mm wide. This plant does not have a well known common name, though casually remarked by bushwalkers as one of the ''egg & bacon'' group of wildflowers. The original specimen was collected by Dr. John White in Sydney, and first published in 1808 by the eminent English botanist, James Edward Smith. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daviesia alata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
