Streaked Rattlepod -  Crotalaria pallida Sourced from Wikipedia <br />
The plant is grown as a ground cover and a green manure crop, especially in the inter-rows of rubber trees and coconut palms. Flowers are eaten as a vegetable in Cambodia, where the seeds are roasted and grounded for use as a sort of coffee beverage. The roots are sometimes chewed with betel nuts in Vietnam. In traditional medicine, the plant is used to treat urinary problems and fever, a poultice of the roots is applied to swelling of joints and an extract of the leaves is taken to expel intestinal worms.[4][5] Crotalaria pallida,Eamw flora,Geotagged,Streaked Rattlepod,Summer,Vietnam Click/tap to enlarge Country intro
