Glycine tabacina, commonly known as variable glycine, is a scrambling plant in the bean family found in Australia. It grows in areas of high rainfall, ranging to semi-arid areas. The leaves are in threes, 7 cm long by 2 cm wide. Bluish to purple flowers form on racemes in the warmer months. The bean pod is up to 3 cm long. The habitat is among grasses, often in open country. Morphology There are twenty-six perennial species found of Glycine tabacina. The length of the leaflet stalks identifies it, since it has a lengthy stalk. The pea-shaped flower varies in color from purple to mauve which blossoms throughout Spring to Autumn seasons. Once mature, their pods become black in color, with the seeds [usually 4 – 8] inside are red to brown. The stems are typically slender and can reach to 1m in length, either trailing or creeping and often twining. The stems are often covered in stiff, straight hairs, emerging from a thickened root system. The leaves are usually tri-foliolate pinnate, and the rachis may vary in length between 5 and 45 mm, with pubescence comparable to the stem. The leaflets appear generally narrow with straight, stiff hairs [strigose] beneath the leaves, although they can also be sparsely strigose or glabrous [without straight stiff hairs] above. The apical portion of this species is generally broader or longer than that of the lateral portion of this species. Lower leaves are typically broad, oval to elliptic shape (10-15 x 8–14 mm), obtuse to truncate, acute, tapering at the base, and often noticeably net-veined underneath. Upper leaflets are normally elliptic-lanceolate to slightly linear (7-50 x 3–7 mm), sharp to blunt and apiculate, abruptly sharp to curved at the base, and on the petiolules, they are covered in coarse, long hairs. Many of the leaves are commonly elliptical to widely oblong (20-40 x 10–20 mm). The stipels have an acicular shape (1-1.5 mm in length). The stipules range in shape, from deltoid to oblong-lanceolate (1.5–3 mm in length). Flowers can reach 6 to 8 mm in length and can grow on strigose pedicels, which can reach 0.5 to 2 mm long. On the distal portion of this species, racemoids [flowers grow on a singular angle and are intermediate inflorescence] on the stalk of the flower can measure from 2 to 12 cm in length and generally consists of 4 to 12 flowers.
