| Tasmania
has three native species of parrotpeas (Dillwynia
spp.). All are erect shrubs with very narrow leaves
that are cylindrical or nearly so, and with a channel along
the top, where the midrib is. All three are quite common in
heathy vegetation.
In D. cinerascens the top petal is relatively
narrow (less than twice as wide as high). In the other two
species the top petal is more than twice as wide as it is high and
has a deep notch in it.
