Chorizema retrorsum is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a trailing or erect to climbing shrub that typically grows to a height of 3 m (9.8 ft) high. It has orange-red, yellow and pink flowers from August to December.[2]
It was first formally described in 1992 by Joan Taylor and Michael Crisp in the journal Australian Systematic Botany, from specimens collected between Walpole and Denmark.[3]
Chorizema retrorsum grows in a range of soils from near Bunbury to Albany in the Jarrah Forest and Warren bioregions of southern Western Australia.[2] The specific epithet (retrorsum) means "turned back", referring to the teeth on the leaf edges".[4]
