description_en: Genus of 3 species of evergreen, twining or trailing climbers occurring in Australia in a diverse range of habitats, from coastal plains to rocky scree in mountainous areas. They have alternate, ovate to lance-shaped leaves, which may be 3-palmate (rarely 5-palmate) or may consist of only 1 leaflet, with the 2 lateral leaflets suppressed. Colourful, small, pea-like flowers are borne, often in profusion, in axillary racemes or occasionally in panicles. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate greenhouse or conservatory. In milder climates, use to cover an arbour, pergola, or wall, or grow through large shrubs or small trees.
