==Description==
''Swainsona oroboides'' is a prostrate or ascending perennial plant, that typically grows to a height of up to {{cvt|15|cm}} and has many stems. The leaves are imparipinnate, mostly {{cvt|20–70|mm}} long with 3 to 7 narrowly elliptic leaflets, the side leaflets {{cvt|10–24|mm}} long and {{cvt|2–5|mm}} wide with [[stipule]]s mostly {{cvt|3–5|mm}} long at the base of the [[Petiole (botany)|petioles]]. The flowers are purple, arranged in racemes of 3 to about 16, {{cvt|50–150|mm}} long, on a [[Peduncle (botany)|peduncle]] {{cvt|0.5–1.5|mm}} long. The [[sepal]]s are joined at the base to form a tube about {{cvt|1.5|mm}} long, with lobes a little to much longer than the tube. The [[Papilionaceous flower#corolla|standard petal]] is {{cvt|7–10|mm}} long and {{cvt|8–12|mm}} wide, the [[Papilionaceous flower#corolla|wings]] about {{cvt|5–8|mm}} long and the [[Papilionaceous flower#corolla|keel]] about {{cvt|6–10|mm}} long and {{cvt|2.5–3.0|mm}} deep.<ref name="RBGS" /><ref name="J.Thompson">{{cite journal |last1=Thonpson |first1=Joy |title=A revision of the genus ''Swainsona'' (Fabaceae). |journal=Telopea |date=1993 |volume=5 |issue=3 |pages=514–516|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/264754#page/92/mode/1up|access-date=19 April 2024}}</ref><ref name="SA">{{cite web |title=''Swainsona oroboides'' |url=http://www.flora.sa.gov.au/cgi-bin/...gi?form=speciesfacts&name=Swainsona_oroboides |publisher=State Herbarium of South Australia |access-date=19 April 2024}}</ref> Flowering occurs from June to September,<ref name="FB" /> and the fruit is a broadly oblong [[Pod (fruit)|pod]] about {{cvt|10|mm}} long on a stalk about {{cvt|1|mm}} long, with the remains of the strongly curved [[Style (botany)|style]] {{cvt|3–4|mm}} long.<ref name="J.Thompson" />
