Monkey Tamarind whose common name is Mucuna Pruriens or Velvet Bean is a shrub that is used for fodder or fertilizer. When the plant is young it has the orangy brown hair on it and it is shaped like a tamarind. The pod should not be touched as it causes a severe itch. If you have this plant around your house you should get rid of it as the breeze can blow the hairs in through your windows and if they land on anything and you touch, sit or lay on it it will cause your skin to itch. I am still trying to get rid of the shrubs by my home. Someone advised me to try Roundup Weed Killer.
