Entada rheedii, commonly known as African dream herb or snuff box sea bean,[3] and as the cacoon vine in Jamaica, is a large woody liana or climber of the Mimosa clade Mimosoideae. The vine can grow as long as 120 m (390 ft).[4] Their seeds have a thick and durable seed coat which allows them to survive lengthy periods of immersion in seawater.
