The sword-bean (Tam. Thambattankai, Coliavarakai or Val- avarakai) is common throughout India being cultivated in gardens or round about the dwellings. It is supposed to be a native of India and several varieties exist. Many wild forms are met with some of which are held to be poisnous. Climbing and bush forms are found. The climbers are allowed to trail over trellis frames or over the roofs. The plant flowers mainly from August to October but many cases have been observed where flowering takes place even as late as March or April.
