DISCRIPTION AND DISTRIBUTION C. cajan is an erect perennial, warm-season crop that is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics. It is a shrub that can grow to 12 ft tall, but usually only reaches 3 to 6 ft. The ribbed stem grows upright and is covered in short, soft hairs (pubescent) and is woody at the base. Its deep tap root is fast-growing. The pubescent, stalked leaflets are 2 to 4 inches long (5–10 cm) and ¾ to 1½ inches wide, with minute resinous glands underneath.

Pigeon pea originated in India, where it has been grown for thousands of years. It reached Africa about 2000 BC or earlier and a secondary centre of diversity developed in East Africa. With the conquests and slave trade it reached the Americas probably via both the Atlantic and the Pacific.
