Grona adscendens, the wild groundnut, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[3] It is native to the seasonally dry tropics of the Americas and Africa, and it has been introduced to India, Southeast Asia, Malesia, New Guinea, and many Pacific islands.[2] A non-climbing perennial shrub, it is found in a variety of habitats including forests, grasslands, and farm fields.[1] Under its synonym Desmodium adscendens it has been assessed as Least Concern.[1] Large-scale, randomized, placebo-controlled studies to justify its use in humans have not yet been performed.[4]
