See text Chorizema, commonly known as flame peas,[3] is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to Australia.

The sepal lobes are more or less equal, the upper pair broader and partly joined, the standard petal more or less round or kidney-shaped, the wings oblong and much longer than the keel.

[3][4][5] The genus Chorizema was first formally described in 1800 by Jacques Labillardière in his Relation du Voyage à la Recherche de la Pérouse, and the first species he described (the type species) was Chorizema ilicifolium.

[6][7] The genus name (Chorizema) means "divided thread", Labillardière having noted that the stamens are separate from each other.

[8] Flame peas are endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, apart from C. parviflorum that occurs in New South Wales and Queensland.
