Description: "Slender creeping and climbing herbaceous vine, coarsely brown-tawny pubescent; leaves each of 3 leaflets, these ovate, acute, densely pubescent, mostly about 3-6 cm long and more than half as wide; flowers medium to pale blue or slightly purplish; pods coarsely pubescent, 2-3 cm long, compressed-convex, slightly constricted between the seeds; seeds 5-7" (Stone, 1970; p. 324).
Habitat/ecology: Tropical and sub-tropical climates. Forms dense mats that smother native vegetation. (Csurhes & Edwards, 1998; p. 146). "Disturbed areas in heavier soils such as roadsides, waste areas, along creek lines and edges of monsoon vine thickets. An extremely vigorous climber that smothers supporting vegetation and is relatively shade tolerant. A serious weed of peanut crops in Queensland." (Smith, 2002; p. 45).
Propagation: "Dispersed by seed as a contaminant in hay or in mud adhering to vehicles and stock. Seed is expelled short distances from the pods which twist upon drying." (Smith, 2002; p. 45).
