description_en: Genus of about 120 species of evergreen shrubs from dry forest in Australia. They are cultivated for their usually alternate, occasionally opposite, linear to almost rounded leaves, and for their pea-like flowers. The axillary, usually yellow or pink flowers have notched standard petals, and are produced singly or in clusters, which are often crowded into apparently terminal heads. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool greenhouse; in warmer areas, grow in a shrub border, or at the base of a wall.
