Abstract
Swainsona galegifolia (Andr.) R. Br. (syn. S. coronillifolia Salisb.), called Darling pea or Smooth Darling pea, grows in Queensland and New South Wales (Anonymous 1981; Everist 1981). It is a shrubby perennial species which has small pinnate leaves about 10cm long and in November has white, or pink to purple flowers. S. galegifolia is placed in the tribe Galegeae, of the family Fabaceae (Pohill and Raven 1981).
