About Pultenaea myrtoides A.Cunn. ex Benth.
Pultenaea myrtoides A.Cunn. ex Benth. is an erect shrub with stems that have soft, pressed hairs against the surface. Its leaves are egg-shaped with the narrower end pointing toward the base, and measure 5 to 20 millimetres (0.20 to 0.79 inches) long and 2 to 7 millimetres (0.079 to 0.276 inches) wide. Stipules 3 to 5 millimetres (0.12 to 0.20 inches) long are present at the leaf base, and the lower surface of the leaf is paler than the upper surface.
Flowers of Pultenaea myrtoides are 7 to 10 millimetres (0.28 to 0.39 inches) long, arranged in dense clusters at the ends of branches. Each flower grows on a pedicel approximately 1 millimetre (0.039 inches) long. Egg-shaped to spatula-shaped bracts that are 4 to 5 millimetres (0.16 to 0.20 inches) long and two or three-lobed are found at the base of the flower cluster. The sepals are 5 to 8 millimetres (0.20 to 0.31 inches) long, covered in dense hairs, and have keeled bracteoles 3 to 4 millimetres (0.12 to 0.16 inches) long attached near the base of the sepal tube. The fruit is a flattened pod approximately 6 millimetres (0.24 inches) long.
This species grows in heath and forest habitats, found on the coast and tablelands of south-east Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales, extending as far south as Port Stephens.
