It is a [[legume]] with long, pinnate-leafleted [[Leaf\|leaves]]. The seed contains the toxic [[poison]] [[abrin]]. The plant is native to [[Indonesia]] and grows in tropical and subtropical areas of the world where it has been introduced. It has a tendency to become [[weed]]y and invasive where it has been introduced.
