Entada gigas, commonly known as the monkey-ladder, sea bean, cœur de la mer or sea heart, is a species of flowering liana in the pea family, Fabaceae of the Mimosa subfamily, which is often raised to family rank (Mimosaceae). They are native to Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America, and Africa. It is notable for having the family's largest seedpods, which measure 12 cm (4.7 in) across and can reach 2 m (6.6 ft) in length. There have been reports of pods up to eight feet (2.5 meters) in length. This pod, like all legumes, is a single carpel, the largest carpel of any known plant. Inside the pods are ten to fifteen seeds, each of which have a diameter of 6 cm (2.4 in) and a thickness of 2 cm (0.79 in). The seeds contain a hollow cavity, which gives them buoyancy. After bein

- Entada gigas Entada gigas Graines de Entada gigas Espèce Entada gigas(L.) Fawc. & Rendle, 1920 Classification phylogénétique Entada gigas, le cœur de la mer, est une liane vigoureuse, à croissance rapide de la famille des Mimosaceae ou des Fabaceae (sous-famille des Mimosoideae). Cette espèce, aux feuilles paripennées (3 à 4 paires de folioles), aux petites fleurs jaune-vert en épi, est connue pour produire les plus grandes gousses du monde. Une espèce voisine est, elle, originaire d'Afrique et d'Asie et produit des graines plutôt rectangulaires. (fr)
- Entada gigas eller moluckaböna är en ärtväxtart som först beskrevs av Carl von Linné, och fick sitt nu gällande namn av och Alfred Barton Rendle. Entada gigas ingår i släktet Entada, och familjen ärtväxter. Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life. På franska kallas de cœur de la mer - sjöhjärtan. I färöisk folktradition anses de bringa tur, förmodligen delvis eftersom denna tropiska växts frön är sällsynta i nordliga vatten. (sv)

Inside the pods are ten to fifteen seeds, each of which have a diameter of 6 cm (2.4 in) and a thickness of 2 cm (0.79 in). The seeds contain a hollow cavity, which gives them buoyancy. After being washed by rain into rivers and then the ocean, the seeds of E. gigas drift long distances on ocean currents. Seed buoyancy and vitality lasts at least two years.
