Flemingia vestita locally called as ‘Soh-phlang’ belongs to the family Fabaceae. It is an underutilized minor tuber crop domesticated in Indian subcontinent and restricted to its cultivation in Khasi and Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, Northeast India. Being a leguminous crop, it is known to improve soil quality. The edible tuberous roots are consumed after peeling off the outer yellowish skin and have been an indigenous vermifuge drug among the Khasi and Jaintia tribals. The crop is also known to possess high market value, i.e., Rs. 100-300 per Kg in the local markets. This leguminous tuber crops can serve as a key to future food and nutritional security for small and marginal farmers of Meghalaya.
