Hardenbergia violacea (Schneev) Stearn is accepted as native in Tasmania. Hardenbergia violaceawas first described (as Glycine violacea)
by Schneevoogt (l 793) from cultivated planes probably collected as seeds in the Sydney area in the first few years of settlement. This scrambling or trailing perennial grows from a woody rootstock and produces long wiry stems that climb on ocher planes or trail over rocky outcrops. le is well known in Victoria and New South Wales, where it occurs widely in dry open forests, but its occurrence in Tasmania is limited to the Pomos Hills near Richmond in the southeastern part of the state.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
