Rhynchosia precatoria
Rhynchosia precatoria, known variously as rosary snoutbean, 'crab-eyes', or ojo de perico, among other names, is a viny member of the family Fabaceae.
Rhynchosia precatoria occurs from the southern parts of the US states of Arizona and Florida, south through the moister parts of Mexico and possibly through Central America into Colombia in South America. The usual authorities are somewhat at odds as to how far south it occurs. Currently the iNaturalist page for the species shows documented observations stopping at about the Guatemalan border.
