Glory pea

Glory pea (Clianthus puniceus) is an outstanding ornamental plant much-loved for its ostentatious red flowers, which have a complex shape often likened to a lobster claw or parrot's beak. Sadly this plant is now critically endangered in its single natural habitat and there is now only one known example in the wild. The scientific name puniceus means "blood red," in reference to the flowers.
