Oxytes brachpoda (common name - large tick-trefoil)[2] is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Fabaceae.[1] Its native range is Papua New Guinea to northern and eastern Australia and New Caledonia.[1] (In Australia, it is found in the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.)[1]
It was first described in 1854 by Asa Gray as Desmodium brachypodum,[3][4] from specimens found in Sydney and the Hunter River,[4] but in 2018, it was transferred to the genus, Oxytes[5][6]
It flowers from spring to autumn (in New South Wales) and is common in sclerophyll forests.[2] In the Northern Territory, it flowers from March to June and is found in Acacia shirleyi thickets and Eucalypt savanna.[7]
