Daviesia divaricata, common-name Marno,[4] is a shrub in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia.[1] It usually grows from 0.3–3 metres (1–10 ft) high.[4] Bentham describes it as having no leaves, and having smooth, green, rigid stems which are circular in cross-section (terete), having grooved spines at their tips.[2] Stems branch off from one another at a wide-angle,[2] giving the species its name, divaricatus being the Latin for wide-spreading.[2][5] Its orange pea flowers, with their yellow, brown, red and purple centres, are produced between June and November in the species' native range.[4] It grows on sand, over both limestone and laterite, and is found on sandplains, rocky outcrops, and roadsides.[4]
The species was first formally described by botanist George Bentham 1837.[1][2]
