Indian-hemp

Crotalaria juncea is a tropical plant belonging to the Fabaceae family. It is commonly referred to as Indian-hemp and is believed to have originated in India. The species is cultivated and naturalized in many parts of the world, including regions such as Brazil, China, and various islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The typification of the species is based on the Linnaean herbarium sheet, as noted by Fawcett & Rendle in 1920. Some alternative typifications have been proposed, but the earliest accepted typification remains that of Fawcett & Rendle.
