Very rare in Eastern Ghats and distributed from E. himalayas, Khasi, Assam, W.peninsula, Myanmar and Sri Lanka
Flowers of M. monosperma are nearly white when they bloom at night and get a bluish tinge when they mature sunsequently. Flowers of M. pruriens are deep blue all along. Besides pods of former have only one seed while the latter has many seeds. The habitat is different, evergreen forest for former and deciduous forest for the latter.

Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week :: Mucuna monosperma -PKA1: Good to see all very interesting uploads. Sorry for joining late… This is my first post for ongoing “Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week”.
Bot. name: Mucuna monosperma Family: Fabaceae Location: En route Vasota Fort (Mahabaleshwar- Koyna region), Maharashtra. Habitat: Wild Plant Habit: Climber Local (Marathi name): Pandhri khajkuiri. what is the range of distribution in the Western Ghats ? Its climber same as M. pruriens, one will find hard to differentiate if not in fruiting,, its rare in hill station in Konkan.. This is the only photograph available with me. Let me go thru my old collection and see if i can get some more pics. I have one picture with structure similar to this photographed near Wilderness resort Belgaon-Goa road. (March 2006) Hopefully it appears to be same Yes … this is also Mucuna monosperma. Description (Only Pod as i have not seen the flower yet): Pod ovoid, ellipsoid or rhomboid, 7-9×4.5 cm , winged, obliquely plaited on both faces, densly clothed with rusty irritant bristles, 1-seeded, seeds rounded, slightly compressed, dark brown, smooth, shining.
I had also posted the same species from orissa. This one is also very rare in Eastern Ghats and distributed from E. himalayas, Khasi, Assam, W.peninsula, Myanmar and Sri Lanka
Flowering: Nov-Dec and Fruiting: Feb-April.
So please check the flower in this winter.
Id of a fruit: Please help me in identifying this rare fruit ! I was amazed to see it on a climber near Palasambe caves (near Kolhapur) last week (22.2.13). Posting few photos for id.
… most probably the negro bean, Mucuna monosperma (family: Fabaceae). I second its a Mucuna monosperma !! Mucuna monosperma Yes Mucuna monosperma Thanx everybody. Is it a local/Indian species, if so, can anyone tell me its Marathi synoname? There is no binomial nomenclature system in Marathi !! But in Marathi it has Local name_ Pandhari Khajkuiri / Pandhari Khajkhujali !!
N its Synonym is Stizolobium rugosum. M.monosperma is native to western ghats !! (Palasambe region included in W.Ghats) 🙂 …, the Marathi name for your posted plant is पांढरी खाजकुइरी pandhari khajkuiri
References: 1) http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Negro%20Bean.html 2) Flowers of Sahyadri by Shrikant Ingalhalikar Many many thanks for sharing this wonderful plant – native of India.
Marathi word_Khajkhujali means Itching (irritation in skin_skin khujana)
Wenever d Pod of Mucuna comes in contact with skin, immediately iching is started over there, so that local people named it as Khaj-khujali / Khaj-kuiri !!
And Fortunately or unfortunately i hv experienced with both species pod M.pruriens n M.monosperma at my farm (Pune region) !! Skin touch experience was unforgotable n horrible ever !! 🙂
I have seen a dermatology book that talks of Farmers getting allergic responses to some vigna leaves, apparently they have some secretion on the tips of their hairs… The climber was right near the steps of “Palasambe Caves” and a local person warned us about its itching property, so we stayed away from it and didn’t dare to touch it. (By the way, also saw side by side the climber of huge Entada pod ( गारंबी) at the same place.) Mucuna pruriens and M. monosperma are neither confused nor mistaken . The foremer has a long pod and the latter has somewhat round pods Thanks … for elaborating your sighting. Many thanks … for the clarity among the two pods.
…, the word पांढरी (meaning white coloured) must have some reasoning while it was assigned to this M. monosperma – one case could be just to logically separate the two plants. Perhaps, some aspect of M. monosperma is “whiter” (read “brighter”) than the M. pruriens. It could be just any aspect like stem, leaf, bud, flower, seed OR even the root.
Those familiar with this colour logic may help us out.
Flowers of M. monosperma are nearly white when they bloom at night and get a bluish tinge when they mature sunsequently. Flowers of M. pruriens are deep blue all along. Besides pods of former have only one seed while the latter has many seeds. The habitat is different, evergreen forest for former and deciduous forest for the latter. Many thanks for sharing your observation about white flower..!
Dear … here I’m sending a description of Mucuna sp., M.monosperma & M.pruriens. pz find in attachment ! In d description it is mentioned that bristles which present on pod r irritant. I hope description ll helpful !! 🙂

Since you have mentioned that you haven’t seen M.pruriens, I am attaching a picture of pods of M.pruriens. Pod bristles are considered as allergic, though the seeds are medicinal.
Some of my photographs of Mucuna pruriens are available at this link
