Daviesia angulata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, spreading shrub with prickly, flattened phyllodes, and yellow flowers with red markings.
Daviesia angulata is an erect, glabrous, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of . Its leaves are reduced to flattened, sharply-pointed, tapering phyllodes wide and wide. The flowers are arranged in leaf axils in groups of between two and four on a peduncle long, each flower on a pedicel long with oblong bracts at the base. The sepals are long, the lobes about long, the two upper lobes joined in a broad "lip" and the lower three triangular. The standard petal is broadly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base and a notched tip, yellow with red markings near the centre and long, the wings yellow, tinged with red and about long and the keel yellow with a red tinge and about long. Flowering mainly occurs from March to September and the fruit is a triangular pod long.[1]
Daviesia angulata was first formally described in 1839 by John Lindley in the A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony from an unpublished description by George Bentham.[2] [3] The specific epithet (angulata) means "angular", referring to the branchlets.[4]
This species of pea mainly grows in jarrah forest and mallee-heath between Eneabba, Busselton, Wongan Hills and Mount Barker.
Daviesia angulata is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
