Description

The Sturt Desert Pea, one of Australia’s best known wildflowers, is endemic to the Australian mainland and is the floral emblem of South Australia. Famous for its distinctive blood red leaf-like flowers, each with a bulbous black centre and grey-green foliage, it occurs in arid inland regions. This shape and size was not included in the Collection and is, therefore, very rare.
