It is a dense, erect, many-branched shrub with hairy branches, narrow egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and yellow-orange and red flowers.
Pultenaea kraehenbuehlii is a dense, erect, many-branched shrub that typically grows to a height of up to and has glabrous branchlets. The leaves are arranged alternately, narrow egg-shaped to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, mostly long and wide on a petiole long with stipules long at the base. The flowers are arranged in small groups near the ends of branches, each flower long on a pedicel long with overlapping bracts long at the base. The sepals are long with egg-shaped bracteoles long attached to the side of the sepal tube. The standard petal is yellow-orange with a red base, wide and high, the wings long, and the keel is red and long. The fruit is an oval pod long.[1]
Pultenaea kraehenbuehlii was first formally described in 1998 by Peter J. Lang in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens from specimens he collected in the Northern Mount Lofty Ranges.[2] The specific epithet (kraehenbuehlii) honours the South Australian botanist Darrell N. Kraehenbuehl.
This pultenaea is restricted to the Tothill Range and nearby Spring Hill in the Mount lofty Ranges of South Australia.
