|}}Kennedia coccinea (coral vine) is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low growing trailing shrub or climber which has twining rust-coloured branchlets with rounded leaflets that are about 1.5 cm long and occur in threes.[1] Orange red or scarlet pea flowers are produced in clusters between August and November in its native range.[1][2]

The species was formally described in 1804 by French botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat in Jardin de la Malmaison.[3] Two varieties were described in Paxton's Magazine of Botany in 1835, namely var. elegans and var. coccinea.[3] Three further varieties were transferred from the genus Zichya in 1923 by Czech botanist Karel Domin, namely var. molly, var. sericea and var. villosa. Currently, three subspecies are recognised:[3]

  • K. coccinea (Curtis) Vent. subsp. coccinea
  • K. coccinea subsp. calcaria Lally
  • K. coccinea subsp. esotera Lally

Cultivation

The species is naturally adapted to sandy or lighter soils and prefers some shade.[1][2] It is resistant to drought and has some frost tolerance. Plants can be propagated by scarified seed or cuttings of semi-mature growth.[1]
