Aotus ericoides - Common Aotus
Aotus ericoides, commonly known as Common Aotus, is a small shrub native to southeastern Australia, including Victoria, New South Wales, and SE Queensland. It typically grows to about 0.5 to 1.5 meters in height and is commonly found in heathlands, woodlands, and dry sclerophyll forests. Aotus ericoides is known for its slender, needle-like leaves and bright yellow pea-shaped flowers with red centers, which bloom in late winter to early spring. This species is well-adapted to poor, well-drained soils and plays a key role in supporting pollinators, especially native bees, making it an important component of local biodiversity.
