A species widely distributed in the Philippines, previously confused with 
Adenanthera pavonina Linn., to which it is closely allied, differing constantly in 
its seeds being about half jet-black and half bright red as in A. bicolor Moon. 
The leaflets are quite different from those of A. bicolor Moon, obtuse, elliptical or 
oblong-elliptical, as in -4. pavonina Linn. The species seems to have the vegetative 
characters of Adenanthera pavonina Linn., and the seed characters of A. bicolor 
Moon.
