Canavalia cathartica, commonly known as maunaloa in the Hawaiian language,[1][2][3][4] is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. The Hawaiian name translates as long mountain.[5] In English it may also be known as poisonous sea bean,[6] ground jack bean, horse bean, silky sea bean or wild bean.[1] It has a Paleotropical distribution,[2] occurring throughout tropical regions in Asia, Africa, Australia, and many Pacific Islands, and extending just into subtropical areas.[7] It is not native to Hawaii, and is an invasive species there.[8]
