Persoonia nutans, commonly known as the nodding geebung, is a rare shrub native to New South Wales in eastern Australia. It is one of many species first described by Robert Brown.[1] having been collected by him at the base of the Blue Mountains,[2] 'near Richmond and the Nepean River' in 1802. It is an attractive, erect to spreading shrub to 1.5m (5ft) tall; it has hairy young branches with narrow leaves, about 30 × 1.5mm, flat but with recurved margins. The flowers are yellow, pendulous on a delicate stalk to 12 millimetres (0.47 in) long, with 4 free segments curled back from a cylindrical base, occurring from December to March, with some flowers to July; the ovary is glabrous (hairless). Its fruit is a round glabrous drupe enclosing a single seed.[3] The plant appears to favour sandy soils. It is currently listed as an endangered species on Schedule1 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 and as a nationally endangered species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.[4]
