It is endemic to Australia. It grows to 1 metre in height and has phyllodes with pointed, recurved tips. These are 2 to 5 mm long. Obovate juvenile leaves may also be present. Apricot to brown-red pea flowers are produced between August and October in the species native range in South Australia and Victoria. These are followed by inflated pods which are about 15 mm long and 10 mm wide. The species was first formally described by English botanist John Lindley in 1838 in Three Expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia.<br /> Family: Fabaceae &nbsp; Genus: Daviesia &nbsp; Species: brevifolia &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Orange<br />Stephen L (Clare) SAFri, 21 Nov 2014 04:15:00 GMTNarrow Leaf Bitter Peahttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/623+narrow-leaf-bitter-peahttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/623+narrow-leaf-bitter-pea<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/623+narrow-leaf-bitter-pea"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W623__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Broom-like shrub to 2 m high; upper branchlets often leafless.

The swollen succulent leaves are about 2.5cm long and as thick as a pencil with a savagely sharp point. Pea shaped red-and-yellow flowers are less than one centimetre across. The shrub grows to about one metre high with an open habit, often tangled up with other shrubs. The seeds of native peas are not for eating though, as they may be toxic.<br /> Family: Fabaceae &nbsp; Genus: Daviesia &nbsp; Species: pachyphylla &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Yellow<br />Member - John and ValFri, 21 Nov 2014 04:16:00 GMT
