This is nearly allied to the Indian M. macrocarpwn, Wall., 

 which differs conspicuously in the pod being channelled down 

 both sides of both sutures. 



In the Kew Herbarium is a raceme of flowers of a Mucuna 

 from Ningpo, collected by Everard; probably of this species. 

 The smaller flowers differ otherwise from those of M. macrobotrys 

 in having a less deeply toothed calyx, in the wings being glabrous 

 on the margin, and in the bifid standard.
