Mucuna sumbawaensis Wiriad. in Wiriad. & H.Ohashi (1990) 104, f. 5, 6. — Type: Kuswata 148 (A, BO, K, L), W Sumbawa, Setongkat Atas.

Distribution — Malesia: Lesser Sunda Islands: Sumbawa. Habitat & Ecology — Secondary forest, riverside, savannah forest. Soil: andesite breccia. Altitude 200– 650 m. Flowering: May, December; fruiting: May.

Note — Close to M. gigantea which differs mainly in the pods: M. sumbawaensis pods wrinkled and with thick wings, M. gigantea pods smooth with thin wings. Mucuna sumbawaensis is also rather similar to M. longipedunculata of the Philippines from which it differs in the shorter inflorescences that are pseudoracemes, not pseudopanicles, the short pedicels, smaller calyces, slightly smaller corollas and the winged pods. The material seen at K and L by Adema has flowerbuds and young and ripe pods.
