Definition
A genus of large climbing plants in the legume family, native to tropical regions, known for their enormous seed pods that can be several feet long.
Etymology
From the local West African name for the plant, likely from a Bantu language. The scientific name 'Entada' was adopted by botanists to classify these distinctive vines, preserving the indigenous terminology.
Kelly Says
Entada plants produce the largest seed pods of any flowering plant—some grow over 3 feet long with compartments like a row of rooms—and they were so impressive that sailors picked them up as curiosities, spreading them across oceans before any globalization existed.
