There is some confusion in the H. S. as regards this plant; the 
vernacular name Tikari is always applied to this plant, which has 
yellow flowers, whereas Voigt associates the name with Dolichos 
pilosus , which is a Vigna with blue flow r ers : this plant is in fact 
omitted by Voigt though it is the commonest of the five allied forms 
cultivated in our districts. The confusion has, however, been shared 
by the majority of those who have dealt with these pulses.
