Dipogon (Fabaceae) Not in students flora    
The robust woody climber, Dipogon lignosus, has become naturalised in Tasmania. It has large trifoliate leaves with heart shaped leaflets, and showy purple flowers. This weedy South African species seems to have as many common names as countries it has invaded (Australian Pea Vine; Mile a Minute, Okie Bean, Lignosus Bean, Cape Sweet Pea, Dolichos Pea)
