| Bossiaea
cordifolia is an uncommon erect shrub to ~ 3 m in open forest and woodland in northwest Tasmania. The leaves are triangular-ovate and alternate, or irregularly opposite or whorled, and are more or less sessile. Apex pungent. Stipules are obvious bristles up to 3mm long, often deflexed, and arranged in closely adjacent pairs. Similar to B. cinerea, but
distinguished by deflexed stipules and stipules not on opposite sides
of the petiole. The leaves are also more pungent than B. cinerea, and the petiole lacks a spur. |
