Pseudarthria hookeri, the pink velvet bean, is a lanky, perennial Afrotropical herb in the legume family, Fabaceae.
[1] It is named after William Hooker.
It is widespread in the African tropics and moist uplands of the African subtropics, from Senegal and Ethiopia southwards to eastern South Africa.
[2] It bears rough trifoliolate leaves along the stem, and produces terminal, pink flowers in late summer.
[1] The stem may grow up to 2 or 3 meters in height annually, before it dies back in the dry season.
