Daviesia mimosoides, the blunt-leaved bitter pea, is a shrub found in south eastern Australia, up to 5 metres tall but usually much smaller. Often a dominant shrub at high or low altitudes, mostly growing on acidic soils. This plant first appeared in scientific literature in 1811 in the second edition of Hortus Kewensis published by the prolific Scottish botanist Robert Brown. The specific epithet mimosoides refers to the phyllode like leaves, similar to mimosa. Two subspecies are recognised: D. m. laxiflora and D. m. mimosoides.^[1]^[2]^[3]
