Swainsona colutoides
Swainsona colutoides is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to deserts and dry shrublands of Australia.[1] An erect annual or biennial, its high production of larger seeds, delayed dehiscence, and low concentrations of the toxin swainsonine gives it potential for development as a forage crop.[2]
