Sesbania cannabina, the sesbania pea, prickly sesban, yellow bush pea, or yellow pea bush, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[3][4] It is native to the seasonally dry tropics of the Indian Subcontinent, Indochina, and Australia, and it has been introduced to a number of locales around the world.[2] A shrub reaching 1 to 3.5 m (3 to 11 ft), it is typically found in wet areas and poor-draining soils at elevations from 0 to 900 m (0 to 3,000 ft), and can be a weed of rice paddies.[1][3][5] It is cultivated as a green manure, and for fodder, erosion control, and its fiber, and is tolerant of alkaline and saline soils.[6] It has been assessed as Least Concern.[1]
