Description

Mucuna birdwoodiana(白花油麻藤,勃氏黧豆) is under the family Fabaeae which exhibits compound odd-pinnate leave. Compound odd-pinnate leave means Leaflets are attached along an extension of the petiole called a rachis; there is a terminal leaflet and therefore an odd number of leaflets (3) as shown in the photo above.
