A little hard to shoot today in the wind, third image is for the leaf. Pale flower approx 4mm wide, with a tendril which grasps onto blades of grass and other plants. Spotted gum forest.

A variable species, flowers sometimes pale, sometimes darker purple, leaves sometimes glossy, sometimes not. Prefers forest, while the similar G. tabacina grows in more open grassy woodland.

Thats interesting Jackie - I wonder if you feel this one is the same, the habit looked very similar to me, but the colour was more purple in this Glycine clandestina (Twining Glycine)
