Re: Tagasaste/tree lucerne

Hi to all,

Tagasaste/tree lucerne, lab-lab, purple hyacinth vine.  Is this the 
same thing?  I recently saw this really large, vine with large purple 
pods like pea pods growing on it.  When I enquired I was told that it 
was called a Lab-Lab.  The person that I was talking with said the 
pods were edible - she munched one while I was watching.

Anyone know of a picture that I could see?  I have looked on the web 
and not found any.
