Marah fabacea, also known as the California manroot or bigroot, is a common species of manroot native to California. It is the most widespread of all the manroot species in the state and often hybridizes with other species of Marah. The plant has stout, hairy stems with tendrils and can grow up to 6 meters in length. Its leaves have five lobes and vary in size and length. The plant emerges from a large, hard tuberous root that can weigh over 100 kilograms. Its flowers are monoecious and can range in color from yellowish green to cream to white. The fruit is spherical and covered in prickles, with unripe fruit being green and ripening to yellow. The plant is self-fertile and pollination is done by insects. The seeds are large and have a unique germination process where the initial shoot grows downward into the earth and then splits, with one part forming the tuber and the other growing back to the surface as the vine. The plant is found in a variety of habitats and can tolerate different soil types and acidities, but requires seasonally moist soil. It is used by the Kumeyaay tribe to immobilize fish and its tubers can be processed for a soap
