Erythrina hazomboay
About
Erythrina hazomboay is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Madagascar. It grows as a shrub. It has a dehiscent fruit that when mature reveal black and red seeds, approximately 1.2 centimetres (0.47 in) in diameter. It has been suggested that these seeds may have been adapted to be ingested by the now extinct elephant birds, as their morphology mimics that of fleshy fruit.
