Synaphea cuneata

Synaphea cuneata is a low-lying or ascending shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 20 cm (7.9 in) and has few branches covered with soft, velvety hairs. The leaves are wedge-shaped, 40–150 mm (1.6–5.9 in) long and up to 15–75 mm (0.59–2.95 in) wide on a petiole 30–120 mm (1.2–4.7 in) long with blunt teeth on the edges with sparse, soft hairs. The flowers are yellow and borne in moderately crowded spikes 20–120 mm (0.79–4.72 in) long on a peduncle 180 mm (7.1 in) long with egg-shaped bracts . The perianth has a wide opening, the upper tepal about 6 mm (0.24 in) long and 3.0–3.4 mm (0.12–0.13 in) wide and gently convex, the lower tepal 4.2–4.5 mm (0.17–0.18 in) long. The stigma is elliptic, convex with spreading horns. Flowering occurs in September and October, and the fruit is elliptic to egg-shaped, about 4.5 mm (0.18 in) long and sparsely hairy.

This species of Synaphea grows in lateritic soil in jarrah forest and sandy loam in wandoo woodland on the Darling Scarp between York and Bannister in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
