Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Pultenaea (probably named after Dr. Richard Pultcney, 1730-1801). Leguminosae. Shrubs suitable for the warmhouse, not commonly in cultivation, although many species have been occasionally grown.

Leaves alternate or rarely ternate-verticillate: fls. axillary and solitary or in terminal heads, usually yellow, orange or mixed with purple; ovary sessile or rarely short-stipitate: pods ovate, compressed or turgid, 2-valved.—About 90 species in Austral. Pul- teneas grow best in a mixture of peat and silver sand and are said to need firm potting and careful watering with soft water. Prop. by seed or by cuttings made of the points of shoots when about three parts matured.
