Daviesia is the only pea in the area with triangular pods. It is called bitter pea because the leaves taste very bitter and the taste stays for hours.

Thank you. This one really interested me with its pod shape, when I first saw it I thought it was covered in plant hoppers. Thanks for the advice too, I'll be sure not to munch on them unless I feel particularly grouchy :)
