Pithecellobium Cyclocarpum

Cyclocarpum pithecellobium, scientifically known as Pithecellobium cyclocarpum, is a rare and intriguing legume native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This plant is characterized by its unique pod-like fruits that enclose its seeds in a protective, often curved structure. Despite its limited distribution, it holds ecological significance as a food source for certain wildlife and as a potential candidate for botanical research. Its ornamental value has also sparked interest among horticulturists and plant enthusiasts. However, due to habitat destruction and over-collection, it faces increasing threats to its survival in the wild.
