Dillwynia trichopoda is a shrub in the plant family Fabaceae that is native to New South Wales, Australia.[1][2]
This woody shrub grows up to one meter tall and has thin leaves that are curled in a spiral. Its leaves range from 2 mm to 5 mm long and are smooth. The leaves are also alternate.[1][3]
The plant's branches are long and narrow. Its flowers are in clusters of one to six individual flowers, each often have a bract under them. The flowers are red, orange, and/or yellow like other species in the genus Dillwynia.[1][3]
Additionally, like other Dillwynia species, the flowers of Dillwynia trichopoda eventually produce a seed pod that is 4-5 mm long.[3][4]
