Hi to all,to help to communicate about plants especially, considering our international community I would encourage you all to use the "scientifical" latin names for the plants.Tagasaste/tree lucerne, lab-lab, purple hyacinth vine. Is this the
same thing? I recently saw this really large, vine with large purple
pods like pea pods growing on it. When I enquired I was told that it
was called a Lab-Lab. The person that I was talking with said the
pods were edible - she munched one while I was watching.
Chamaecytisus palmensis
Tagasaste, Tree Lucerne
Lablab purpureus SEED was Dolichos lablab
SEED Lablab, Hyacinth Bean,
