Alysicarpus rugosus, the red moneywort, rough chainpea, or alyce clover (a name it shares with Alysicarpus vaginalis), is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[2][3][4] It is native to the seasonally dry tropics of Africa, Oman, Asia, and Australia.[1] A perennial herb reaching 1.5 m (5 ft), it is typically found in wet areas such as dense forests and wastelands at elevations from 600 to 1,200 m (2,000 to 3,900 ft).[5] It is used as a green manure.[4] It is very palatable to cattle and has found some use as a dry season forage.[6]
