Seeds from a rare pea at Kew Gardens’ Millennium Seed Bank are helping to recover an area in Australia devastated by bushfires.

Over 1,000 Clover glycine seeds were collected from their native South Australia in 2007 and put in the bank.

250 have been returned to Australia to produce seeds for plants for restoration.

23,200 hectares of land were burned by the wildfires in January, including a number of conservation parks and reserves.
