Canavalia glabra (M. Martens & Galeotti) J.D. Sauer, Brittonia 16: 130. 1964; Wenderothia glabra M. Martens & Galeotti; C. villosa var. glabra (M. Martens & Galeotti) Standl.
Tallos glabros, a veces con tricomas escasos, erectos, cafés. Folíolos ovados, 814 cm de largo y 47 cm de ancho, ápice acuminado, agudo u obtuso con un acumen corto, escasamente pubescentes, peciólulos 46 mm de largo; raquis 11.5 cm de largo, pecíolos 5.59 cm de largo. Inflorescencias hasta 20 cm de largo, pedicelos 13 mm de largo, bractéolas redondeadas, 2 mm de largo; cáliz tubular-campanulado, ca 13 mm de largo, labio superior casi tan largo como el tubo, contraído y con una giba debajo de la contracción opuesta a los dientes inferiores del cáliz, diente central del labio inferior 2.5 mm de largo, puntiagudo, más largo que los laterales obtusos; corola blanca o rosada, estandarte 4 cm de largo. Legumbres hasta ca 20 cm de largo y 3 cm de ancho, glabrescentes, café pálidas, muy cortamente rostradas, la costilla valvar ca 6 mm de la costilla sutural, estípite ca 1 cm de largo; semillas oblongas, 15 mm de largo y 11 mm de ancho, el hilo 7 mm de largo.
Aún no se ha colectado en Nicaragua pero se espera encontrar; sur de México, Guatemala y Honduras, y Panamá al norte de Sudamérica. La giba en el ápice del cáliz es bastante característica.
Vine trailing or climbing on herbs and shrubs; stems glabrate, sometimes with sparse erect brownish hairs. Leaves pinnate trifoliolate, leaflets mostly 10-14 cm long, 4-7 cm wide, ovate, apically acuminate, acute or obtuse with a short acu- men, sparsely pubescent with weak white hairs. Inflorescence to 20 cm long; bracteoles rotund, ca. 2 mm long; pedicels ca. 3 mm long. Flowers white or rose; calyx ca. 13 mm long, pubescent with short, dense hairs, the tube relatively long, the upper lip as long as the tube, forming a short umbo, the top of the calyx with a distinct hump behind the recessed area behind the lip, the lowest tooth ca. 2.5 mm long, pointed, exceeding the obtuse lateral teeth; standard ca. 4 cm long. Legumes to ca. 20 cm long, 3 cm wide, oblong with a pronounced beak and a short narrow stipe, compressed, glabrescent, with prominent longitudinal ridges at the sutures and each valve with an additional ridge near the sutural ridge; seeds to 15 mm long, oblong, compressed, the hilum ca. 7 mm long.
Leaflets commonly to 18 cm long, chartaceous, ovate-elliptic, acuminate to a very long, acute tip; pubescence medium long, white or tan, dense on petiolule, sparse to moderately dense on lower surface of blade, sparse above. Bracteoles 1.5 mm long, obtuse. Pedicel 1 mm long. Calyx 13 mm long; pubescence short, white or tan, sparse to moderately dense; upper lip nearly as long as tube, upper edge concave behind apiculate tip, with a pronounced hump opposite lower calyx teeth; lowest tooth 2.5 mm long, acute, exceeding obtuse laterals. Standard 4 cm long. Pod commonly to 20 × 3 cm, compressed, spirally dehiseent, pale brown, glabrescent; each valve with sutural ribs and an extra rib ea 6 mm from ventral rib. Seeds to 15 × 11 × 5 mm, oblong, strongly compressed, reddish brown with darker specks, not buoyant or impermeable; hilum ca 7 mm long.
ranges from southern Mexico to Peru, but it is more common in northern Central America.
