Alysicarpus schomburgkii is a small annual herb in the pea family, native to northern Australia where it grows wild in seasonally dry tropical country. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care is best judged from its natural habitat.
Alysicarpus schomburgkii is a species of pea (family Fabaceae) found in Australia, in the Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia. It was first described in 1926 by Anton Schindler from four specimens: two collected at Port Darwin (one by Schomburgk, one by Foelsche) and the others from north Queensland .
In Western Australia it is found in the IBRA regions of Central Kimberley, Dampierland, and Northern Kimberley, while in the Northern Territory it is found in the IBRA regions of Arnhem Coast, Arnhem Plateau, Cape York Peninsula, Central Arnhem, Daly Basin, Darwin Coastal, Gulf Fall and Uplands, Northern Kimberley, Ord Victoria Plain, Pine Creek, Tiwi Cobourg, and Victoria Bonaparte.
