Medicinal Plants of the World

Abstract

A perennial of the LEGUMINOSAE family. It grows to a height of 1–2 m. It has dark green spreading pinnate leaves that are divided into pairs of narrow leaflets. The pea-like, purple-blue flowers arise from the leaf axils in a spike-like cluster. The pods are small and flat, 2–3 cm in length, turning brown at maturity and containing 1–7 small dark reniform seeds about the size of a pinhead.
