Description
Senna phyllodinea is a spreading, bushy shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in). Immature plants have pinnate leaves, but the leaves in mature plants are reduced to curved phyllodes 15–60 mm (0.59–2.36 in) long and 2–8 mm (0.079–0.315 in) wide, covered with silvery hairs pressed against the surface. The flowers are yellow and arranged in racemes near the ends of the branches, the petals 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long with ten fertile stamens in each flower. Flowering occurs all year and the fruit is a flat, curved pod 30–100 mm (1.2–3.9 in) long and 8–13 mm (0.31–0.51 in) wide.
Range & habitat
Senna phyllodinea grows in a variety of soils in arid areas of western New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
