Erythrina vespertilio is a small tree native to northern and north-east Australia. It is commonly known as grey corkwood, bat's wing coral tree, yulbah, and "bean tree". It typically grows to a height of 6 to 10 metres (20 to 33 ft) with a trunk diameter of 0.3 m (1.0 ft). It has thorns on the trunk and branches with bark that is deeply furrowed and corky and creamy-grey in colour. The leaves are bifoliolate or trifoliolate and the leaflets have a broad wedge-shape with three lobes, resembling a bat's open wings. The tree blooms between August and September producing scarlet to orange-red pea flowers that are 3 to 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 in) long. The seeds resemble beans and are orange to dark yellow in colour. It is found in all mainland states except Victoria, mainly in open woodlands but extends to arid areas and rainforest margins. It was widely traditionally used by Aboriginal Australians in Central Australia for making woomeras and coolamons. The bark is also considered to have traditional medicinal uses. The seeds are used
