Field Notes
Description:
Typically grows to a height of 1–3 m and, rarely, up to 6 m with rough grey-brown bark. The leaves are borne oppositely and are usually simple, though sometimes trifoliate with a basal pair of small leaflets; they range between 2 and 10 cm in length and, rarely, up to 15 cm, with a margin that is serrated or entire.
Habitat:
The flowers are produced in the early spring before the leaves, bright yellow with a deeply four-lobed flower, the petals joined only at the base. These become pendent in rainy weather thus shielding the reproductive parts. The fruit is a dry capsule, containing several winged seeds.
