Vigna parkeri

Vigna parkeri has climbing or prostrate stems, sometimes forming mats measuring 0.1–2 m (3.9 in – 6 ft 6.7 in) long. The main rootstock is slender but tough. The stems are thin and often root at the nodes, and are sparsely to densely covered with mostly spreading hairs. There are three leaflets that are round, ovate, or ovate to lanceolate and are 1–8.8 cm (0.39–3.46 in) by 0.8–5.4 cm (0.31–2.13 in). The leaflets are rounded to acuminate at their apex and rounded to acute at their base, as well as pubescent on both sides with densely ciliate margins. The petiole is 1–8.5 cm (0.39–3.35 in) long, and there are two petiolules, approximately 3.5 mm (0.14 in) long.^[2]

It has two to five inflorescences that are sometimes 10-flowered. The peduncle is 2–13 cm (0.79–5.12 in) long and the pedicels are 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) long. The calyx is sparsely pubescent, with the tube being 1.5–2 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long, the lobes being deltoid, ovate, or lanceolate, 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long, with the upper pair joined to form a somewhat rounded lobe. The standard is blue, purple-blue, yellow, or white, and is usually paler at the base. The standard is oblate as well, 5–8.5 mm (0.20–0.33 in) by 5–8 cm (2.0–3.1 in), and glabrous. The wings are blue, purple, or yellow. The keel is greenish with a purple tip or yellowish, and the beak is not curved inwards. The pods are linear and oblong, and are 4.5–5.5 cm (1.8–2.2 in) long, and 1.3–2 cm (0.51–0.79 in) wide. The pods are pubescent or glabrous as well, and have two to five seeds. The oblong seeds are grey to brown with black mottling, and are 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) by 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) and 2 mm (0.079 in) thick.^[2][3]
