                                        indicus) is a member of the Fabaceae family and
                                        has many wild relatives. These include Cajanus
                                        scarabaeoides (L.) Thouars, C. sericeus (Benth. ex
                                        Baker) Maesen, C. acutifolius (F. Muell.) Maesen,
                                        C. albicans (Wight & Arn.) Maesen, Rhynchosia
                                        aurea, R. bracteata Benth. ex Bak and Flemingia
                                        bracteata (Roxb.) Wight (van der Maesen 1985). The
                                        pigeonpea plant is an erect annual or short-lived
perennial reaching a height of 1–3 m. Because the coarse bush is deeply rooted, it has wide
adaptability and grows well in semi-arid areas. It has slender, pointed trifoliate leaves and
yellow or yellow and red flowers. Pods are green and pointed with some reddish mottling.
Several pods are produced in clusters on an upright stem.
