User's notes

Vigorously growing, spreading, prolifically flowering and with many early growth stages of fruiting pods far from ripe, at this sighting time. Likely candidate genus . I am not sure and will have to gather, more evidence from these plants and more supporting information from the Au Tropical Herbarium . Fabaceae botanical family – certainly. Vine growth form. To check the genus and the species, identification . At first botanical keying out attempt this seemed _Pachyrhizus panamensis_ . Confer with _Pachyrhizus erosus_ . No evidence for or against planted origin . Julaymba [Daintree River] high bank, outlook over River incl. bend. road side to Daintree Village . 2024 June 17th 5-44–5-47 pm .
