Clover Glycine
Glycine latrobeana
Glycine latrobeana
Perennial, growing from a woody rootstock. Reasons for its threatened status include its occurence on land that is suitable for agriculture, and its palatability to domestic and native animals. Its seeds remain dormant and viable in the soil for many years, and may germinate after disturbances such as fire.
