What Flower is this?
Hi People, can someone please tell me the name of this flower? I have
uploaded it on my site www.rent-a-cloud.com under 'Greencards' It's at the beginning, yellow and named 'Wildflower' Visitors to my site ask me for identification. I would be grateful for your help. I found this flower on bushes north of Sydney, Australia. I do not know if it is an Australian native. (My site is NOT commercial. It is my hobby for videoclips and greeting cards of nature, free for personal use). Thanks for your help - Klaus |

Gorse? Yes, I would say Gorse. I don't think it is a Cytisus because of the leaves - the C. scoparius leaves are round (note the leaves on the picture) and the 'Lena' has lots of red in its petals. |

My best guess is that it is Daviesia ulicifolia but given that there are hundreds of native Australian pea like flowers in the families of bossiaea, chorizma, daciesia, hovea and labichea, that's pretty much a guess. |

I think you've got it. I don't. It's almost certainly a pea flower but the ulicifolia hasn't got the right stem/leaf structure. I've sent it to my Aussie mate who will probably have one :-) |

I don't think it is Daviesia ulicifolia since that species tends to
produce dense racemes of flowers and has rather broad leaves. The plant in the pic shows flowers in small clusters along the stem. I grew something almost identical to that many years ago from seeds collected in Oz by a friend's nephew who lived there. It took some identifying (Australia has a bewildering number of native Fabaceae), but it eventually turned out to be Pultenaea juniperina. A somewhat straggling shrub with rather sharp, narrow leaves and clusters of one, two or three flowers along the stems, arising from each leaf axil. It grows in waste ground and dry heath type vegetation in New South Wales, Victoria Tasmania and maybe S. Australia. As a garden plant it's not the tidiest of things, but the flowers when they appear are rather showy. Hard pruning of 1 year growth immediately after flowering can keep it very much tidier, but it resents older wood being cut. I couldn't persuade it to survive winters outside in the Midlands, but I'm sure it would be very happy in Devon and Cornwall. Academic really since I lost my plants many moons ago. B&T World seeds sell it. Photographs can be misleading, but I'd be prepared to put a moderately large sum on it being a Pultenaea and just a slightly smaller amount on it being juniperina. |

Eutaxia obovata Good one Bob ... and the flowers look absolutely right. However, Eutaxia has sharp, but obovate leaves (hence the specific name) and the one in the pic clearly shows needle-like leaves. Still, its a very close call. |

Gorse doesn't have that red on it, though. Sure. The angle of the op's picture showed the leaves as almost needles sharp and that threw me off the right path. I think Bob's got it though. |

Dave, I had a good close look at the original photo and thought I could see some "spines" seemed thicker in the middle like we were seeing all the leaves side on so they just looked like spines. If not, the flowers are so similar perhaps it's another member of the same genus. I just seem to remember seeing this plant somewhere. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

You see something and are almost sure what it is but .... I've just done a trawl of pics of both genera and then racked my brains to get the memory cells working. The flowers could be from any one of half a dozen genera and without any indication of size and better defined floral characteristics, no-one can say more than "maybe ...". If the leaves are any more than 1mm. across and distinctly broader at the mid point, then Eutaxia it probably is. If they are 1mm. or less across and without any significant increase in breadth at the mid point, then it is probably Pultenaea. The reality is that it will most likely remain one of several possibilities. I'll admit to my preference simply because I've grown it and immediately recognised the flowers, the way they are carried etc. etc. |

ps.com... I don't think it is Daviesia ulicifolia since that species tends to produce dense racemes of flowers and has rather broad leaves. The OP reported that the plant was growing north of Sydney where the D. ulicifolia is noted as being one of "the prickly shrubs, Daviesia ulicifolia, Bursaria spinosa, Melaleuca nodosa and Lissanthe strigosa." http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/...ark_endangered Here is another picture where the colour of the flower is right as is the shape of the leaves http://www.anbg.gov.au/images/photo_...12633/019.html and another http://www.utas.edu.au/docs/plant_sc.../daviulic.html I'm not saying that it IS a D. ulicifolia, but I am fairly certain that it isn't a Eutaxia obovata because it's from Western Australia and thus is not be likely to be growing as a 'wildflower' north of Sydney. The plant in the pic shows flowers in small clusters along the stem. I grew something almost identical to that many years ago from seeds collected in Oz by a friend's nephew who lived there.

Pultenaea juniperina is found mainly in Tasmania and Victoria and the NSW distribution for this plant does not look right to me with the location given as being "north of Sydney". http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cg...a~juniperi na Daviesia ulicifolia does grow in the right area: http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cg...a~ulicifoli a I don't think we have a confirmed identification yet. |
