Abstract

Wild relatives of crop plants help broaden the genetic diversity available for plant breeding. To fill a geographic collecting gap and sample germplasm that is naturally adapted to harsh environments, collections of the native legume Vigna were made from roadsides around the Pilbara. All 32 collections proved to be morphotypes of the V. lanceolate Benth. species complex, including a diminutive form (recently described as V. triodiophila) found around rockpiles near Karratha that appears to be well-adapted to grazing by rock wallabies.
