Pultenaea euchila, commonly known as orange pultenaea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect shrub with glabrous foliage, narrow egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and orange-coloured flowers arranged singly or in small groups near the ends of branchlets.
Pultenaea euchila is an erect, glabrous shrub with narrow egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, long and wide with stipules long at the base. The upper surface of the leaves is paler than the lower side. The flowers are arranged near the ends of branchlets and are long on pedicels up to long with linear to egg-shaped bracteoles long attached near the base of the sepal tube. The sepals are long, the petals are orange, the ovary is glabrous and the fruit is a pod long.[1]
Pultenaea euchila was first formally described in 1825 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.[2] [3]
Orange pultenaea grows in near-coastal forests from Lake Macquarie in New South Wales to southern Queensland.
