Bossiaeeae are plants with red and yellow flowers endemic to Australia. These pea-flowered shrubs, also called "The Egg-and-Bacon Peas of Australia," make up a tribe of legumes related to the mirbelieae. In fact, phylogenetic analysis suggests that the tribe Bossiaeeae is monophyletic with the Mirbelieae.
