Guilandina bonduc, commonly known as grey nicker, nicker bean,[3] fever nut[4] or knicker nut, is a species of flowering plant in the senna tribe, Caesalpinieae,[2] that has a pantropical distribution.[5] It is a liana that reaches a length of 6 m (20 ft) or more and scrambles over other vegetation. The stems are covered in curved spines.[6] Its 2 cm (0.8 in) grey seeds,[7] known as nickernuts,[8] are buoyant and durable enough to be dispersed by ocean currents.[5]
