reduced leaf sizes located on the base of flower bases grow 1 to 2 mm long and are slender. The sepals within the flower [calyx] grow 3 to 4 mm long and can vary from strigose or glabrous. Insects pollinate this plant, and is a hermaphrodite, consisting of male and female cells. It is known that this plant has the ability to undergo nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is mostly accomplished via a symbiotic relationship between legumes (Glycine tabacina) and specific nitrogen-fixing microbes which turn elemental nitrogen to ammonia. This plant maintains a mutual relationship to specific soil microorganisms, in which the specific soil microorganisms create nodules upon roots and repair atmospheric nitrogen. Distribution and habitat Glycine tabacina is native in Australia. However, can also be located in China, Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Philippines and Taiwan. In Australia, Glycine tabacina are mostly located in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. Within Eastern Australia, Glycine tabacina are frequently and largely scattered and found in cosmopolitan areas. Typically, Glycine tabacina grow within grasses in wide forest lands and woodland areas. It can also be found in dense forests and rainforest riverbeds, though it is uncommon near ocean shores. Glycine tabacina thrives in moist soils, loamy clay soils, and does not require shade. The pH level that is best for Glycine tabacina growth can vary from acidic to alkaline. After a fire, this plant has the ability to re-sprout from the root and regenerates extensively from seed. There have been no toxic elements that have been discovered yet. This is a nectar plant for butterflies as well as a food plant for certain caterpillar groups. Use Aboriginal use Indigenous communities consumed the liquorice - flavoured root. Aborigines in New south wales and Queensland are said to have roasted, crushed, chewed, and they would expectorate the fiber. Fibrous but starchy, with no discernible taste [6]. It is not known if Aboriginal communities currently consume the roots of Glycine tabacina. It is not known if Aboriginal communities use this plant for medicinal purposes. Medicinal use Glycine tabacina, a legume plant, is a well-known natural medicine and Chinese herbal medicine. The roots were used in traditional medicine to treat osteoporosis, nephritis, rheumatism, and menopausal syndrome. Glycine tabacina is often used as an herbal tea in Taiwan and is one of the origins of the folk medicine, I – TiaoGung. Nevertheless, some phytochemical
