Pultenaea pauciflora

Pultenaea pauciflora (Narrogin pea) is a pea which is endemic to Western Australia. It is a member of the Fabaceae family.[4] There are no synonyms.[2][4][5]

The species was first formally described by botanist Munro Briggs Scott in 1914.[2][3] The specific epithet, pauciflora, is derived from the Latin words, paucus (pauci-), meaning "few", and flos (floris) meaning "flower" to give a compound Botanical Latin adjective which describes this Pultenaea as "few-flowered" or as "having few flowers".[6][7]
