| Tasmania has
three native species of Parrot Peas (Dillwynia spp.). All are erect shrubs with very narrow leaves
that are cylindrical or nearly so, and with a channel along the top,
where the midrib is. All three are quite common in heathy
vegetation.
In D. cinerascens the top petal is relatively narrow (less
than twice as wide as high). In the other two species the top petal
is more than twice as it is long and has a deep notch in it.
