Plants of this genus, some of which are [[Aquatic plant|aquatic]], can be used in [[alley cropping]] to [[Nitrogen fixation|increase]] the [[soil]]'s [[nitrogen]] content. {{Inc| Sesbania (from Sesban, the Arabian name of S. aegyptiaca). Syns., Daubentonia, Glottidium. Leguminosae. Herbs or shrubs, sometimes arborescent, but short-lived, suitable for the warm- and coolhouse, and for outdoor planting in the far South. Leaves abruptly pinnate; lfts. many-paired, very entire; stipels minute or none: racemes axillary, lax; fls. yellow, red-purple, variegated, or white, slender-pedicelled; calyx broad, tube truncate, toothed or sub-equally lobed; standard orbiculate or ovate, spreading or reflex, wings falcate-oblong, keel incurved, obtuse or obtusely acuminate, with long claws; stamens free from the standard; ovary often stipitate: legume linear or rarely oblong, compressed, 4-angled or 4-winged.— About 30 species, widely distributed in the warmer regions of both hemispheres. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== List of species: * ''Sesbania benthamiana'' * ''[[Sesbania bispinosa]]'' ([[Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin|Jacq.]]) [[William Franklin Wight|W.Wight]] ([[North Africa]], [[Asia]]) * ''Sesbania brachycarpa'' * ''Sesbania brevipedunculata'' * ''Sesbania campylocarpa'' * ''[[Sesbania cannabina]]'' * ''Sesbania chippendalei'' * ''Sesbania cinerascens'' * ''Sesbania coerulescens'' * ''Sesbania concolor'' * ''Sesbania dalzielii'' * ''[[Sesbania drummondii]]'' ([[Per Axel Rydberg|Rydb.]]) [[Victor Louis Cory|Cory]] - Rattlebox ([[Southeastern United States]]) * ''Sesbania dummeri'' * ''Sesbania emerus'' * ''Sesbania erubescens'' * ''Sesbania exasperata'' * ''Sesbania formosa'' * ''Sesbania goetzei'' * ''[[Sesbania grandiflora]]'' ([[Carolus Linnaeus|L.]]) Poiret * ''Sesbania greenwayi'' * ''Sesbania hepperi'' * ''[[Sesbania herbacea]]'' * ''Sesbania hirtistyla'' * ''Sesbania hobdyi'' * ''[[Sesbania javanica]]'' * ''Sesbania keniensis'' * ''Sesbania leptocarpa'' * ''Sesbania longifolia'' * ''Sesbania macowaniana'' * ''Sesbania macrantha'' * ''Sesbania macroptera'' * ''Sesbania microphylla'' * ''Sesbania notialis'' * ''Sesbania oligosperma'' * ''Sesbania pachycarpa'' * ''Sesbania paucisemina'' * ''[[Sesbania punicea]]'' * ''Sesbania quadrata'' * ''Sesbania rostrata'' * ''Sesbania sericea'' * ''[[Sesbania sesban]]'' ([[Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin|Jacq.]]) [[William Franklin Wight|W.Wight]] * ''Sesbania simpliciuscula'' * ''Sesbania somaliensis'' * ''Sesbania speciosa'' * ''Sesbania sphaerosperma'' * ''[[Sesbania subalata]]'' * ''[[Sesbania sudanica]]'' * ''[[Sesbania tetraptera]]'' * ''[[Sesbania tomentosa]]'' [[William Jackson Hooker|Hook.]] & [[George Arnott Walker Arnott|Arn.]] - ''{{okina}}Ōhai'' ([[Hawaiian Islands]]) * ''[[Sesbania transvaalensis]]'' J.B.Gillett * ''[[Sesbania vesicaria]] (Jacq.)
