Name: Splinter bean

Other Names: Entada abyssinica, Tree entada, Abyssinia entada, Umusange, Mushangeshange, Tree entanda

Description: Entada abyssinica is the scientific name for Splinter bean, Tree entada, Abyssinia entada, Umusange, Mushangeshange and Tree entanda. It belongs to the Fabaceae (Mimosoideae) family. Tree entada or Tree entanda is a small to medium-sized, deciduous tree, 3-15 m high, with a flat, spreading crown; bark grey to reddish, slightly fissured, flaking off in irregular patches; slash pink with streaks of red, branchlets pendulous, glabrous or sometimes pubescent. Splinter bean is an understorey forest species found in association with Albizia zygia and A. hockii. It extends from Guinea to Cameroon and is also widespread in central and eastern tropical Africa. It is usually found in a savannah habitat. The plant is used in the treatment of miscarriage, and the leaf for fever. A decoction of the bark is taken for coughs, chronic bronchial engorgement, rheumatic pains and abdominal pain. An infusion of crushed roots is good for bronchial problems. A root or leaf decoction of Splinter bean is used as a fever remedy, powdered or roasted pulverized seeds for sneezing, root bark as a massage for swelling, and the raw fruit induces vomiting as an antidote to snake venom. The seeds treat cataracts and diseases of the back of the eye.
