Adenanthera bicolor is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Malaysia, and Sri Lanka.

Taxonomy

According to the World Checklist of Vascular Plants, the name Adenanthera bicolor is synonym with Adenanthera aglaosperma; but The Plant List cited A. bicolor as "a misapplied name: In the past this name has been erroneously used to refer to Adenanthera aglaosperma Alston". A more recent version gives the species as Adenanthera aglaosperma (accepted name) since December 2022, with A. bicolor as a synonym.

Protection status

It is classed as a threatened species, with an abundance percentage of only 0.06%.

Possible confusion

Its seed, red with a black dot at the tip, can be confused with that of Abrus precatorius.
