Bossiaea brownii is a member of the genus Bossiaea in the pea family (Fabaceae) which is endemic to Queensland (Australia).[4][5]
Description
The leaflets are ovate with an asymmetrical base. The branchlets are terete and usually covered by a distinctive indumentum of long and short hairs. The stipules have membranous margins. The keel which is about 10 mm long, is not longer than the standard (or barely longer). The stamen tube is persistent and less than 12 mm long. The pod-stipe is 4 - 10 mm long. The bracteoles are free from each other. The petals have red or purplish markings. The calyx is not conspicuously striate. The ovary is smooth, and the pod is partitioned and 15-40 mm long.[6]
Taxonomy
The species was first described as Bossieae brownii in 1864 by George Bentham.[2][3] The current description is that of T.D. Stanley in 1984.[2][7] There are no synonyms.[4]
The type specimen is BM000885941, collected by Robert Brown on 22 August 1802 at Port Clinton, Queensland.[8]
