''Tylosema esculentum'', with common names gemsbok bean and marama bean or morama bean, is a long-lived perennial legume native to arid areas of southern Africa. Stems grow at least , in a prostrate or trailing form, with forked tendrils that facilitate climbing. A raceme up to long, containing many yellow-orange flowers, ultimately produces an ovate to circular pod, with large brownish-black seeds. Form The marama bean is adapted to its native region of Southern Africa and therefore grows in dry and low-moisture soils. Its drought tolerance is accordingly high.

Nevertheless, it needs to be investigated whether it can grow on different soil types. Summer growth is typically prodigious, particularly in plants older than one year, due in part to its large underground tuber. The plant is dormant over winter ...
