Daviesia obovata (common name - Paddle-leaf Daviesia) is an endangered species in the Fabaceae family,[1] native to the south-west of Western Australia.[2]

Taxonomy

D. obovata was first described in 1853 by Nikolai Turczaninow.[3][4]

Conservation status

It is declared an "endangered" species under the commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act,[1] and "rare"[2] under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and now under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.[5] A major threat is from dieback due to Phytophthora cinnamomi (Phytophthora dieback).[1][6], and from bushfires.[1]
