Daviesia subulata is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to a restricted area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a dense shrub with vertically flattened, sharply pointed phyllodes and yellow and red flowers.
Daviesia subulata is a dense, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of . Its phyllodes are vertically flattened, long, broad and sharply pointed. The flowers are arranged in one or two groups of two to five in leaf axils on a peduncle long, the rachis long, each flower on a pedicel long. The sepals are long and joined at the base, the three lower lobes triangular. The standard petal is elliptic with a notched centre, about long, wide and yellow grading to red in the centre. The wings are long, the keel long and red. Flowering occurs in July and the fruit is a compressed, triangular pod about long.[1]
Daviesia subulata was first formally described in 2017 by Michael Crisp and Gregory T. Chandler in the journal Phytotaxa from specimens collected near Morawa in 1996.[2] The specific epithet (subulata) means "awl-shaped" or tapering to a very fine point, referring to the phyllodes.[3]
This daviesia mostly grows in disturbed in open scrub in several sites near Morawa in the between Eneabba and Mingenew in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion of south-western Western Australia.
Daviesia subulata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
