ENTADA

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 654 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ENTADA , in botany, a woody climber belonging to the family
Leguminosae
  and common throughout the tropics. The best-known species is Entada scandens, the
sword
 -bean, so called from its large woody pod, 2 to 4 ft. in length and 3 to 4 in. broad, which contains large flat hard polished
chestnut
 -coloured seeds or " beans." The seeds are often made into snuff-boxes or match-boxes, and a preparation from the kernel is used as a
drug
  by the natives in India. The seeds will
float
  for a
long
  time in water, and are often thrown up on the north-western coasts of Europe, having been carried by the Gulf-stream from the West Indies; they retain their vitality, and under favourable conditions will germinate.
Linnaeus
  records the germination of a seed on the
coast
  of Norway.
