Sphaerolobium hygrophilum

Sphaerolobium hygrophilum is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with many stems, that typically grows to a height of up to 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in) and has pink to red or orange flowers from August to December. [2] It was first formally described in 2004 by Ryonen Butcher in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected near Northcliffe in 2000. [3] The specific epithet (hygrophilum) means "water-loving". [4]

Sphaerolobium hygrophilum grows in winter-wet areas, swamps and near watercourses in the Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. [2]
