VELVET BEAN Seeds | Mucuna pruriens
Mucuna pruriens is a leguminous climbing plant, with long, slender branches, and alternate lanceolate leaves on hairy petioles that are 15cm to 30cm long, with large, white flowers growing in clusters of two or three, with a bluish-purple, butterfly-shaped corolla. The pods or legumes are hairy, thick, and leathery, average 10cm in length, are shaped like violin sound-holes, and contain four to six seeds. These seeds are of a rich dark brown colour, thickly covered with stiff hairs.
Travelers in the tropics know the plants well on account of their annoying seed-pods, covered with stinging hairs that cause great irritation when they come in to contact with the skin. Mucuna pruriens is found in Asia, America, Africa, and the Pacific Islands, cultivated in some parts for the sake of its revered velvety legumes, which are laden with medicinal alkaloids.
