[edit]Pultenaea hartmannii is an erect shrub with hairy stems. The leaves are arranged alternately, oblong to triangular with the narrower end towards the base, 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) long and 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) wide with stipules about 2 mm (0.079 in) long at the base. The flowers are yellow with red markings, arranged in small, leafy clusters near the ends of branchlets. The flowers are 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long on pedicels about 1 mm (0.039 in) long with narrow triangular bracteoles 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long attached at the base of the sepal tube. The sepals are 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long, the ovary is hairy and the fruit is a flattened pod 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) long.[2]
