anyone work with asphalt?

That's the one!
Apparently there's a sterile species too.
Made by the hong kong botanical gardens in the 1800s.
Wish I got that one.

What blew my mind is that it is classified as a legume!

Um.... legume???  Well.. shut the door... took a look at the definition in some dictionary or other ( ) and it does make sense...

Legume: a type of plant (such as a pea or a bean plant) with seeds that grow in long cases (called pods); also : these seeds eaten as food

I guess those projectile pods constitute a bean.  Go figure.

The buds and roots are used in south asian cusine.
Also good for indigestion.
I will try that one.
