The new, 5th edition of Flora of South Australia is published online in PDF-form. Today, 30 June 2015, the State Herbarium of South Australia released a revised version of the chapter on the plant family Fabaceae (peas). In addition to the existing treatments of the tribes Bossiaeeae & Brongniartieae (by I.R. Thompson) and Indigofereae (by P.G. Wilson), this chapter now also includes the tribe Mirbelieae. With 13 genera and species, this is the largest group of native peas. It was mainly written by Andrew Craigie, Peter Lang co-authored the genus Pultenaea and up-dated Dillwynia together with Jürgen Kellermann.
