![]() An average of 52.11% degradation of L-DOPA into damaging quinones and reactive oxygen species was found in seeds of M. pruriens varieties. pruriens has the highest content of L-DOPA. The seeds of the plant contain about 3.1–6.1% L-DOPA. The dry weight of the seeds is 55–85 grams (2–3 ounces)/100 seeds. The hilum, the base of the funiculus (connection between placenta and plant seeds) is a surrounded by a significant arillus (fleshy seed shell). They are flattened uniform ellipsoids, 1–1.9 cm ( 3⁄ 8– 3⁄ 4 in) long. The pods carry up to seven seeds, which are shiny black or brown drift seeds.

The accompanying leaves are about 12.5 mm ( 1⁄ 2 in) long the flower stand axes are from 2.5–5 mm ( 1⁄ 8– 3⁄ 16 in). They are 15–32 centimetres (6–13 in) long and have two or three, or many flowers, which can be white, lavender, or purple. The flower heads take the form of axially arrayed panicles. Additional adjacent leaves are present and are about 5 mm ( 1⁄ 4 in) long. ![]() ![]() The stems of the leaflets are 2–3 millimetres ( 1⁄ 16– 1⁄ 8 inch) long. ![]() In young specimens, both sides of the leaves have hairs. The sides of the leaves are often heavily grooved and the tips are pointy. The leaves are tripinnate, ovate, reverse ovate, rhombus-shaped or widely ovate. When the plant is young, it is almost completely covered with fuzzy hairs, but when older, it is almost completely free of hairs. Mucuna pruriens is an annual climbing shrub with long vines that can reach over 15 metres (50 feet) in length. It has agricultural and horticultural value and is used in herbalism.

The plant is notorious for the extreme itchiness it produces on contact, particularly with the young foliage and the seed pods. Its English common names include monkey tamarind, velvet bean, Bengal velvet bean, Florida velvet bean, Mauritius velvet bean, Yokohama velvet bean, cowage, cowitch, lacuna bean, and Lyon bean.
