Mirbelia oxylobioides

Mirbelia oxylobioides is an understory plant that flowers from mid spring to early summer. Very bright orange and yellow typical pea like flowers are the main attraction.

It is found naturally in mountain areas of Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania, and is under threat in Tasmania. Commonly known as the Sandstone Bushpea and Mountain Mirbelia this is species that possibly deserves a little more attention.

The flowers are very attractive and these alone make it a garden worthy plant, however it is rare in cultivation.
