Chorizema genistoides is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low-lying, spreading or erect that typically grows to a height of 20–60 cm (7.9–23.6 in) and has yellow and red, pea-like flowers.[2] It was first formally described in 1855 by Carl Meissner, who gave it the name Oxylobium genistoides in Botanische Zeitung from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3][4] In 1930, Charles Gardner transferred the species to Chorizema as C. genistoides.[5] The specific epithet (genistoides) means "Genista-like".[6]
Chorizema genistoides grows in sandy and clayey soils on scree slopes and on hills in the Avon Wheatbelt, Mallee, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[2] The species is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
