Tropical Zone Gardening: Restless natives of the Top End, 1 by tropicbreeze

Vigna vexillata is a small vine with pea-type flowers. It's related to the commonly known Mung Bean, Vigna radiata. But it has a tuber which is edible, although not the best of eating. Aborigines call it Bulkud but only eat if if there's nothing else. The tuber tends to be stringy inside. It grows in woodland but also along streams in wet areas. This one was at my place, but growing wild.
