Gompholobium glabratum, commonly known as dainty wedge-pea,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a low-lying or ascending shrub with pinnate leaves that have five to seven leaflets, and yellow and green or greyish flowers.
Gompholobium glabratum is a low-lying or ascending shrub that typically grows up to a height of and has pimply stems. The leaves are pinnate with five to seven leaflets that are linear to narrow lance-shaped, long and wide and more or less glabrous, the edges curved down or rolled under. The flowers are arranged in small groups on the ends of branchlets, each flower on a pedicel long with sepals up to about long. The petals are long, the standard petal and wings yellow or greenish-yellow and the keel dark brown to greyish. Flowering occurs from August to October and the fruit is an oval pod long.[2]
Gompholobium glabratum was first formally described in 1825 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.[3] [4] The specific epithet (glabratum) means "nearly glabrous".[5]
Dainty wedge-pea grows forest and heath on the coast and tablelands of New South Wales south from Forster to the far north-eastern corner of Victoria.
