Comesperma volubile, commonly known as love creeper,[1] is a slender climber in the family Polygalaceae. It is a twining plant with linear leaves and pea-like blue flowers.[2]
Comesperma voluble is a twining creeper to about high on rare occasion a small shrublet with smooth, angled stems. There are few leaves, linear to oval-shaped, long, wide, lower surface pale, margins curved or rolled under. The flowers are in lateral racemes long, the sepals are separated, outer three broadly oval-shaped, about long, wings oval-shaped to nearly orb-shaped, long, keel darker, long, upper petals egg-shaped to oblong. Flowering occurs mainly August to November and the fruit is a narrow wedge-shaped capsule, long.[2]
Comersperma voluble was first formally described in 1806 by Jacques Labillardière, and the description was published in Novæ Hollandiæ plantarum specimen.[3] The specific epithet (volubile) means "twining".[4]
Love creeper occurs in heathland and forest in the states of Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, in Australia.[5]
