Description


Persoonia biglandulosa is an erect, spreading or low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.15–1.5 m (5.9 in – 4 ft 11.1 in) and has smooth, mottled grey bark. The leaves are cylindrical but with a groove along the lower surface, 50–100 mm (2.0–3.9 in) long and 1.0–1.3 mm (0.039–0.051 in) wide. The flowers are arranged in groups of between eight and twenty-five on or near the ends of branchlets that continue to grow after flowering, each flower on a hairy pedicel 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long. The tepals are bright yellow, 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in) long and moderately hairy, the anthers white. Flowering occurs from October to December and the fruit is a smooth oval drupe, 11–14 mm (0.43–0.55 in) long and 6–6.5 mm (0.24–0.26 in) wide containing a single seed.[2][3][4]
