Dillwynia floribunda var. teretifolia

This "Egg-and-bacon" shrub is one of the most showy of the pea family, with its yellow and red flowers crowded densely along the ends of the branches for several centimetres.

The shrub grows 1 - 3 m tall. It is found in heath and woodland on thin sandy soils, and can tolerate drier conditions than the D. floribunda var. floribunda.

The leaves are cylindrical, smooth and crowded, 10-15mm long.
