Azuki bean ( Vigna angularis ) is a plant species in the Fabaceae family. It is an annual herb—bushy and erect, though sometimes trailing or creeping—that can root at the stem nodes and reach heights or lengths of up to 90 cm. It possesses a taproot 40–50 cm in length. The leaves are alternate and trifoliolate. The stipules are small and peltate, often three-branched with a basal appendage, while the stipels are lanceolate. The leaflets range from lanceolate to ovate, measuring 5–10 cm in length and 5–8 cm in width; they are acuminate (tapering to a point) and may be entire (unlobed) or three-lobed. The inflorescence is an axillary pseudo-raceme containing 2–20 flowers. The pedicels (flower stalks) are long on the lower nodes and become very short toward the upper nodes. The flowers are bisexual and papilionaceous (pea-like). Each flower has a short pedicel with an extrafloral nectary at its base. The bracteoles are longer than the calyx. The calyx is bell-shaped with short teeth. The...

Kecapi ( Sandoricum koetjape ) is a plant species belonging to the Meliaceae family. It is a medium-to-large, lush, upright tree reaching heights of 5–30 meters (though typically around 20 meters), with a trunk diameter of 30–106 cm. It exhibits sympodial branching, with branches that are rounded, light brown in color, and contain a milky sap. The root system consists of a taproot and large, brown, branching buttress roots. The leaves are compound, consisting of three leaflets arranged alternately, with petioles reaching up to 18 cm in length. The leaflets are elliptic to ovate, measuring 14 cm in length and 8 cm in width, with entire (smooth) margins. The surfaces are glossy and smooth; they are green when young and turn dark green with age. The base is obtuse, the apex is acuminate (pointed), the upper surface has a papery texture, and the underside is rough. The flowers are borne in axillary, pendulous panicles 12–26 cm long. These indeterminate inflorescences are yellowish-white. ...

Chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) is a plant species in the Fabaceae family. It is an annual herb that grows in a prostrate to erect habit, reaching heights of up to 100 cm. The plant may have a single stem or branch from the base; it possesses a taproot that can reach depths of 1–2 meters, while secondary roots spread within 15–30 cm of the soil surface. The leaves are arranged alternately and are imparipinnately compound, consisting of 7–17 leaflets. The stipules are divided into 2–5 segments, ranging in shape from ovate to triangular, measuring 3–5 mm in length and 2–4 mm in width. The rachis is 2.5–8 cm long and features a groove on the upper side. The leaflets are sessile, ovate to elliptical in shape, 5–20 mm long and 2–15 mm wide; their margins are sharply toothed along the upper two-thirds, and both surfaces are covered in glandular hairs. The inflorescence is reduced to a single flower located in the leaf axil. The peduncle is 20–37 mm long. There are 1–3 bracts, which are linear ...
