A genus of tropical climbing vines in the legume family, known for their distinctive purple or bicolored flowers.
From Greek 'kentron' (center/point) + 'sema' (sign or mark), named for the distinctive center or marking of the flower.
Centrosema flowers have a gorgeous central marking that looks like a bull's-eye—and the plant actually fixes nitrogen in the soil, feeding both itself and nearby plants!
