Entada gigas fruit. The fruit measures 12 cm (4.7 in) across and can reach 2 m (6.6 ft) in length. There have been reports of pods up to eight feet (2.5 meters) in length. [4] [5] This pod, like all legumes, is a single carpel, the largest carpel of any known plant.

[5] Based on the volume of the single auricle and ventricle, the heart complex represents approximately 4% of the body volume (for example, the heart of humans is 1.3% of the body volume). [5]
