Vigna hosei, also known as the sarowak bean, is a perennial legume that is native to Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia in tropical southeast Asia. It is also widely cultivated and has become naturalized in other parts of the world, such as tropical Africa, Australia, and the United States. This plant is often found in disturbed or roadside areas and can form a thick ground cover. It has ovate to elliptic leaflets and produces yellow flowers and black pods containing one to three seeds. One of its unique characteristics is the production of hidden flowers under a layer of decaying leaves. Vigna hosei is used as a cover crop and green manure in young tree plantations, as well as in rubber, tea, and coconut plantations. It is also used as animal forage and is tolerant to heavy grazing. This plant is able to fix atmospheric nitrogen, enriching the soil and promoting the growth of trees. However, it is susceptible to fungal diseases and viruses.
