Cullen australasicum, commonly known as tall scurf-pea or native scurf pea is a herbaceous, perennial shrub that is native to Australia.
Cullen australasicum can grow to a height of 2.5 metres and a width up to 1.5 m.[1] Stems can become woody at the base.[1] The toothed rough leaves are trifoliate, with leaflets mostly 1-5cm long and 1-3cm wide.[1] The small lilac pea-flowers are in groups of three, and held on long spikes well above the leaves.[2] The seeds are light brown and egg-shaped.[1]
