Aotus lanigera - Woolly Aotus
Aotus lanigera, commonly known as Woolly Aotus, is a small shrub native to southeastern Australia, primarily found in New South Wales and SE Queensland. It typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 1 meter and is well-suited to heathlands, woodlands, and open forests, often thriving in sandy or rocky soils. The plant is recognized for its soft, woolly foliage and vibrant yellow pea-shaped flowers with red markings, which bloom from winter to early spring. Aotus lanigera is important for supporting pollinators, particularly native bees, and its dense growth provides habitat for small animals and insects, contributing to local ecosystem health.
