Hardenbergia violacea is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is known in Australia by the common names false sarsaparilla, purple coral pea, and waraburra.[2] Elsewhere it is also called purple twining-pea, vine-lilac, and wild sarsaparilla.[3] It is a prostrate or climbing subshrub with egg-shaped to narrow lance-shaped leaves and racemes of mostly purple flowers.
Hardenbergia violacea is a prostrate or climbing sub-shrub with wiry stems up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) or more long. The leaves are egg-shaped to lance-shaped, 30–100 mm (1.2–3.9 in) long and 10–50 mm (0.39–1.97 in) wide on a petiole about 10 mm (0.39 in) long. The leaves are leathery, glabrous and paler on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in racemes of between twenty and forty flowers, each on a pedicel mostly 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long. The sepals are 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long and joined at the base, forming a bell-shaped tube with triangular teeth. The petals are about 8 mm (0.31 in) long, mostly purple, the standard petal with a yellowish spot and a notch on the summit, the wings are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base and the keel is curved. Flowering mostly occurs from August to November and the fruit is a pod 20–45 mm (0.79–1.77 in) long containing between six and eight kidney-shaped seeds. The flowers are usually purple or violet, but pink, white and other colours sometimes occur.[2][5][6][7][8][9]
H. violacea regrows from its roots after fire.[10] The roots were experimented with by early European settlers as a substitute for sarsaparilla.[10]
False sarsaparilla was first formally described in 1793 by George Voorhelm Schneevoogt who gave it the name Glycine violacea in his book, Icones Plantarum Rariorum.[11][12] In 1940, William T. Stearn changed the name to Hardenbergia violacea.[13]
Hardenbergia violacea grows in a variety of habitats but is more common in open forests, woodlands and undisturbed areas, from sea level to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above sea level. It occurs in eastern Queensland, eastern New South Wales, south-eastern Victoria and southern South Australia. There is a single population in Tasmania, where the species is listed as "endangered" under the Tasmanian Government Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.[2][5][6][7]
Hardenbergia violacea is widely grown as a garden plant, with many cultivars now available.[8] It is hardy in mild and coastal areas of the United Kingdom where temperatures do not fall below −5 °C (23 °F), but it does require a sheltered, south or west facing situation. Alternatively it may be grown indoors with full daylight, for instance in an unheated conservatory or greenhouse. It has been given the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[14][15]
The seeds of H. violacea remain viable for many years and propagation is from seeds that have been treated by adding boiling water to them or by abrading the seed coat. Plants prefer full sun in well-drained soil, are moderately frost-tolerant and respond well to pruning.[8][16]

Blossom detail
Hardenbergia violacea es una especie de planta con flores de la familia Fabaceae originaria de Australia que se encuentra desde Queensland hasta Tasmania.[1] Es conocida en Australia como waraburra (palabra que proviene del idioma Kattang), entre otros nombres.[2] Es una trepadora de hoja perenne vigorosa que crece hasta 6 metros o más, a veces como un subarbusto.[3] Tiene flores típicas parecidas a los guisantes que suelen ser violetas, pero pueden ser blancas, rosadas o de otros colores.[4] Las hojas son de color verde oscuro, duras y coriáceas, con venación prominente.
H. violacea es una especie muy extendida que se encuentra en muchos hábitats. También se cultiva ampliamente como planta de jardín, y ahora hay muchos cultivares disponibles.[4] Es resistente en áreas templadas y costeras del Reino Unido donde las temperaturas no bajan por debajo de -5 °C, pero requiere una situación protegida. Alternativamente, se puede cultivar en interiores con plena luz del día, por ejemplo, en un invernadero o invernadero sin calefacción. H. violacea vuelve a brotar de sus raíces después de los incendios en Australia.[5] Los primeros colonos europeos experimentaron con las raíces como sustituto de la zarzaparrilla.[5] Puede propagarse a partir de semillas después del tratamiento previo (como la escarificación), cuando ronda los 21 °C.[6][7] Las semillas son dispersadas naturalmente por las hormigas.[7]

Hardenbergia violacea, in Australië algemeen bekend als False Sarsparilla[1], is een plantensoort uit de vlinderbloemenfamilie en onderfamilie Faboideae; ze komt van nature voor in Australië.
Het geslacht, Hardenbergia, is vernoemd naar de gravin Franziska von Hardenberg[2] van de Nedersaksische adellijke familie. Zij was de zus van (onder andere plantkundige) Charles von Hügel[3] die in 1833 en '34 Australië aandeed om de flora te bekijken en plantenzaden voor zijn tuin te verzamelen.[4] De soortaanduiding, violacea, betekent 'paarskleurig'.[2]
Deze soort is een altijd groene, kronkelende klimplant, met kleine vlinderbloemen, die meestal paars, violet of wit zijn[2] met een gele vlek bij de basis.[5] De bladeren zijn donkergroen en leerachtig.[2] In de herfst verschijnen aan de plant bruinkleurige erwten.[5]
In Nederland kan de soort als klimplant tegen een hek groeien, maar ook in potten gehouden worden. De plant groeit het best in de zon in een vochtige bodem.
