Sir Prain listed four species in ‘Bengal Plants’ of which one is cultivated – C. ensiformis. But the problem is He also gives Dolichos gladiatus of ‘FLora Indica’ as its synonym. Haines’ views is same.
So, please help….. Canavalia gladiata (Jacq.) DC. is the edible one, C. ensiformis flowers will be with more bluish tinge. Thank you very much … for the id and differentiating characters. I could not find any keys for Indian species on net except at Flora of China.
To me it appears to be closer to Canavalia cathartica Thouars as per keys & illustration at FOC. It is reported in Flora of Tamilnadu, it is edible and often cultivated in villages near farm huts.
