Description
Daviesia striata is rigid, open, glabrous and glaucous shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) and has erect branchlets. Its phyllodes are crowded with the bases overlapping, vertically compressed, 7–16 mm (0.28–0.63 in) long and 4.0–6.5 mm (0.16–0.26 in) wide with a sharply pointed tip. The flowers are arranged in a group of four to seven in leaf axils on a peduncle 2.0–3.5 mm (0.079–0.138 in) long, the rachis 2.5–4.5 mm (0.098–0.177 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 3.5–7 mm (0.14–0.28 in) long. The sepals are about 4 mm (0.16 in) long and joined at the base, the upper two lobes joined for most of their length and the lower three triangular. The standard petal is broadly elliptic, 7.5–9 mm (0.30–0.35 in) long, 7.5–8.5 mm (0.30–0.33 in) wide and yellow with a red ring around a yellow centre. The wings are about 8 mm (0.31 in) long and red, the keel 6.5–7.5 mm (0.26–0.30 in) long and red. Flowering occurs throughout the year and the fruit is a triangular pod 10–12 mm (0.39–0.47 in) long.
