Inga feuilleei (named after Louis Feuillée [2]), commonly known as pacay or ice-cream bean tree, [3] is a tree in the family Fabaceae native to Andean valleys of northwestern South America. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Pacay trees, as is the case with other trees in genus Inga , produce pods that contain an edible white pulp and have nitrogen-fixing roots.
The plant benefits from well drained soil. The flowers are white with some green and the tree can produce fruits almost all year long. Inga species, most notably Inga edulis (commonly known as "ice-cream-bean" or, in Spanish, guama, guaba, guaba de bejuco or paterna depending on the country or

For example, invasive plants can alter the fire regime (cheatgrass, Bromus tectorum), nutrient cycling (smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora), and hydrology in native ecosystems. [89] Invasive species that are closely related to rare native species have the potential to hybridize with the native species.
