About Pultenaea euchila DC.

Pultenaea euchila DC., commonly known as orange pultenaea, is an erect, glabrous shrub. Its leaves are narrow egg-shaped, with the narrower end positioned toward the base, and measure 10โ€“20 mm long by 3โ€“5 mm wide. Stipules 1โ€“2 mm long are present at the base of each leaf, and the upper leaf surface is paler than the lower surface. Flowers are arranged near the ends of branchlets, are 10โ€“15 mm long, and grow on pedicels up to 10 mm long. Linear to egg-shaped bracteoles 1.5โ€“3 mm long are attached near the base of the sepal tube. The sepals themselves are 6โ€“8 mm long, the petals are orange, and the ovary is glabrous. The fruit produced by this species is a pod 8โ€“9 mm long. This species grows in near-coastal forests, occurring in the range from Lake Macquarie in New South Wales to southern Queensland.
