Plants of this endangered pea were first recorded at this location in 1985, but are thought to have bene wiped out by road works. There is an internal 2008 ACT Government record but I have never felt sure about it so fantastic that it survives

Where has it been for the last 35 years? It was hiding among purple toadflax but that has not been particularly present in previous years. The flowers don't seem to last long - they were fading a day later.

This population of one plant was listed as Site T9 in NCDC Report on Sites of Significance in the ACT (1988) but was listed as extinct in NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (2012). National Recovery Plan for Small Purple-pea (Swainsona recta). Hurstville, NSW. Should we now protect and monitor it in accordance with the National Recovery Plan?
