Happy wanderer
Scientific Name
Hardenbergia violacea Family: Fabaceae Flowers Purple pea flowers with pale yellow centres. Arranged in axillary racemes. Habitat Also known as False Sarsparilla, this attractive climber is used by the Australian domestic nursery trade. Common in woodland, even seen on exposed earth and roadside curbs. The tough leaves can be narrow-oblong to almost heart shaped. There are prominent veins visible over the leaf surface. Apparently the leaves can be boiled to make a slightly sweet tea - just be aware for any pontential allergic reactions.
