A very fine capture of the Sturt Desert Pea - This species, a member of the pea family, Fabaceae, is confined to Australia, where it occurs in all mainland States except Victoria. A creeping vine that runs along the ground.Captain Charles Sturt (1795-1869) noted the occurrence of Swainsona formosa in 1844 while exploring between Adelaide and central Australia, and the common name, Sturt's Desert Pea, commemorates a notable explorer of inland Australia, as well as indicating the plant's habitat and family.
