Genus Centrosema, a group of leguminous plants, is also known by other names such as Centrosema pubescens, Centro, Butterfly Pea, and Goat's Rue. These plants are native to tropical regions of Central and South America and known for their forage and soil-improving properties. The broadly used common names imply the plant's characteristic butterfly-shaped flowers, which come in shades of blue, pink, and purple. Along with their ornamental value, they also have medicinal uses such as reducing inflammation and treating respiratory problems. Whether called by its scientific name or one of its synonyms, Genus Centrosema is a beautiful and beneficial addition to any garden or ecology restoration site.
