Pongamia pinnata

Pongamia pinnata is a species of tree found in eastern and tropical Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
It grows to a height of 25 m.
It has medicinal properties.
The leaves are alternate and short, rounded at the base, oblong along their entire length, pointed at the apex and without serrations on the edges. When young, they are a soft, glossy burgundy colour, maturing as the season progresses to a glossy, dark green, with visible veins underneath.
The flowers are gathered in small clusters of white, purple and pink flowers. The raceme-like inflorescences have two to four flowers, which are strongly scented and reach a length of 15–18 mm.
The brown seed pods appear immediately after flowering. They are thick-walled, smooth, slightly flattened and elliptical. They contain one or two brownish-red seeds resembling a bean.
