'''''Ormosia''''' is a [[genus]] of [[legume]]s ([[family (biology)|family]] [[Fabaceae]]). The more than 110 living [[species]], mostly [[tree]]s or large [[shrub]]s, are distributed throughout the [[tropical]] regions of the world, some extending into [[temperate]] zones, especially in [[East Asia]]. A few species are threatened by [[habitat destruction]], while the [[Hainan Ormosia]] (''O. howii'') is probably [[extinct]] already. Plants in this genus are commonly known as '''horse-eye beans''' or simply '''ormosias''', and in [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]] by the somewhat ambiguous term '''''"[[chocho]]"'''''. The [[scientific name]] ''Ormosia'' is a ''[[nomen conservandum]]'', overruling ''Toulichiba'' which is formally rejected in the 2006 ''[[International Code of Botanical Nomenclature]]''<ref name = usda2007 />. The [[seed]]s of these plants are [[poison]]ous if eaten, but often look pretty, with bright colors and decorative patterns reminiscent of an [[eye]]; the common name "horse-eye beans" refers to these seeds. They resemble the seeds of ''[[Abrus]]'', [[snoutbean]]s (''Rhynchosia'') and ''[[Adenanthera]]'', but are much larger than the former two. In particular those of ''[[Ormosia coccinea]]'' are often used for [[jewelry]] and other decorative purposes, or as [[good luck charm]]s. The seeds float and are occasionally found as "[[Drift seed|sea bean]]s". {{Inc| Ormosia (from Greek, for necklace: the brilliant seeds of some species used as beads). Leguminosae. Necklace Tree. Trees, around the world in the tropics, of 40 or more species, bearing large panicles or racemes of white, lilac or black-purple papilionaceous fls., and often handsomely colored seeds, planted sometimes in warm countries: calyx more or less 2-lobed, the 2 upper teeth being somewhat connate: standard very broad, the wings obovate-oblong and oblique; stamens free and unequal; stigma lateral: pod leathery, woody, or fleshy, oblong to linear and compressed, wingless and 2-valved, sometimes septate: Lvs. odd-pinnate, with coriaceous lfts. Other species do not appear in accessible lists, but they may be sparingly in cult. O. coccinea. Jacks., of 8. Amer., is in horticultural literature: lfts. ovate, the margins revolute: fls. blue: pod glabrous and shining; seeds scarlet, with black spot. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== 116 species are accepted as valid by [[ILDIS]]:<ref>ILDIS (2005)</ref> <div float="left"> {{col-begin|width=70%}} {{col-1-of-3}} * ''[[Ormosia amazonica]]'' Ducke * ''[[Ormosia antioquensis]]'' Rudd * ''[[Ormosia apiculata]]'' L.Chen * ''[[Ormosia arborea]]'' (Vell.)
