Centrosema Brasilianum
''Centrosema brasilianum'' belongs to the dicot class with a variety of names such as ''Clitoria brasiliana'', and many more. It is a member of the family Fabaceae. This species in mainly found in South American nations such as Brazil, Guyana, and Bolivia. Morphology ''Centrosema brasilianum'' is a prostrate-trailing to twining, perennial, herbaceous legume. Amongst different studies, some erect and semi-erect forms were identified along with adventitious roots on trailing stems. Leaves are trifoliate, leaflets elliptical-oblong, sometimes ovate, 3.3-6.6 cm long, 1.5-3.6 cm wide. Flower racemes consists of 2-5 flowers, or sometimes solitary. Bracteoles either are glabrous or pubescent, ranging from 3–13 mm long, 12–17 mm long and 5–10 mm wide, ovate and flat or cupped. Peduncles in the leaf axis vary from 4–30 mm long. The papilionate flower is generally violet, violet-blue or red-lilac, and in rare cases also purple or white. Outcrossing may ...

Centrosema Pubescens
''Centrosema pubescens'', common name centro or butterfly pea, is a legume in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, and tribe Phaseolae. It is native to Central and South America and cultivated in other tropical areas as a forage for livestock. Although, this species has hitherto almost exclusively been referred to as ''Centrosema pubescens'', its correct name is ''Centrosema molle''. The former ''C. schiedeanum'' (incl. the released cultivar Belalto centro) is now ''C. pubescens''. Description Centro is a perennial herb that can reach a height of . The root system can reach up to 30 cm in depth, frequently in association with ''Rhizobium'', nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Stems grow and branch rapidly, producing a dense mass of branches and leaves on the soil. Stems do not become woody until about 18 months after planting. Leaves are trifoliate, with elliptical leaflets approximately , dark-green and glabrous above but whitish and densely tomentose below. Flowers are g ...
