Wild Flowering Plants

Fabaceae subfamily Papilionoideae
Clitoria falcata   Lam.
Mexico to Tropical America.
Very rare vine, low-climbing, of open and semi-open moist areas.
Two forms, one with a median ridge on the pods (Praslin) and one without (Ciceron, Castries).
Both populations were observed to form pods without flowers developing fully but one year I observed some flowers at Ciceron.
Pods explode to throw out the sticky seeds.
