The Dusky Coral Pea, Kennedia Rubicunda, has red pea flowers in spring, and variable leaves occurring in threes (trifoliate). It is a hardy plant often seen after disturbance in forests, such as after fire. It begins as a ground cover and climbs to around 3 metres. It can be found in eastern Australia, in this case at the edge of forest near the Cottage at Manna Park.
