D271-2012 Hyacinth Bean vine on a trellis. Lablab purpureus is but one of the commonly used binomials for this species, and hyacinth bean is but one of a number of common names. A member of the family Fabaceae, it is widespread throughout the tropics. Nearly all parts of the plant are edible when fresh, but the beans are toxic when dried unless subjected to prolonged boiling. It is grown for its food value in Africa, among other tropical locations, but is raised for its visual interest and its appeal to hummingbirds in North America. . Toledo Botanical Garden, Ohio.
