What is a Sturt's desert peas adaptations?

Sturt's Desert Pea occurs in arid woodlands and on open plains, often as an ephemeral following heavy rain. It is able to withstand the marked extremes of temperature experienced in inland deserts, and light frosts are tolerated by established plants.

Seeds have a hard seed coat, which protects them from harsh arid environments until the next rainfall.

Once germinated, seedlings quickly establish a deep

taproot, vital for desert survival.
