Kennedia nigricans

This plant is a rather rampant-growing vine from Western Australia, belonging to the Pea Family (Fabaceae). Its flowers are not large, but they are remarkable for their black color, with a dab of yellow on one side (the flowers pictured have their yellow side toward the camera, so that the black is less prominent than it would be from another angle).
