Horse Gram Is not the same as Cow Peas
Horse Gram is Macrotyloma uniflorum
Cow Pea is Vigna unguiculata
They both might have the same medicinal effects; but I’m not a herbalist..so no comment!
Hi-Tony,
In some places in the world they call them cow peas, other places they call them different names.
These are common names and they are sometimes confused with other plants.
Some of the common names are used for many different plants so it is very confusing.
Thanks for the comment
