blakely's bush-pea

Pultenaea blakelyi is an erect shrub that grows to a height 1–4 m (3 ft 3 in – 13 ft 1 in), but typically up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in), and has stems that are hairy when young. The leaves are mostly arranged in opposite pairs, narrow elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 10–20 mm (0.39–0.79 in) long and 1–2.5 mm (0.039–0.098 in) wide. There are stipules 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long at the base and a sharp point at the tip. The flowers are yellow, 7–9 mm (0.28–0.35 in) long and borne in open clusters in leaf axils or at the ends of branchlets on pedicels about 2 mm (0.079 in) long. There are lance-shaped bracteoles 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long at the base of the sepals. The sepals are 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and hairy and the standard petal is 7–9 mm (0.28–0.35 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to December and the fruit is a flattened oval pod 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long.

Pultenaea blakelyi grows in forest on the coast and tablelands of New South Wales between Myall Lakes and Merimbula but there is also a single record from Traralgon in Victoria.
