Taxonomy
editAccording to the World Checklist of Vascular Plants, the name Adenanthera bicolor is synonym with Adenanthera aglaosperma;[4] but The Plant List cited A. bicolor as "a misapplied name: In the past this name has been erroneously used to refer to Adenanthera aglaosperma Alston".[5] A more recent version gives the species as Adenanthera aglaosperma (accepted name) since December 2022, with A. bicolor as a synonym.[6]
Protection status
editIt is classed as a threatened species, with an abundance percentage of only 0.06%.[7]
Possible confusion
editIts seed, red with a black dot at the tip,[8] can be confused with that of Abrus precatorius.[9]
