Ice-cream bean tree

Ice-cream bean tree is a South American tree that was so important to the Inca that it's featured on ancient pottery designs. This beneficial tree is adapted to fix nitrogen, giving it great potential to improve soils for other plants in land reclamation and improvement projects. The scientific name feuillei honors Louis Éconches Feuillée, a noted French botanist and scientist.
