Description
Carmichaelia williamsii is the only yellow-flowered native broom, and it is distinguished from the introduced broom (Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link) by its light green, much wider, and more flattened branches, together with its larger, pale-yellow flowers which have purple or red veins, and its late-winter flowering (July to October, though flowering can occur throughout the year).
