Abrus is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae. It contains about 18 species, namely Abrus aureus, Abrus baladensis, Abrus bottae, Abrus canescens, Abrus diversifoliatus, Abrus fruticulosus, Abrus gawenensis, Abrus laevigatus, Abrus longibracteatus, Abrus madagascariensis, Abrus parvifolius, Abrus precatorius, Abrus pulchellus, Abrus sambiranensis, Abrus schimperi, Abrus somalensis and Abrus wittei.

The shiny red and black seeds of Abrus precatorius make it a sought after climber in the tropical and subtropical areas. In South Africa, one of the countries it is indigenous to, it is distributed in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and some parts of the Limpopo Provinces. There are some species similar to it and this may cause confusion.

The bead vine is economically and medicinally important. Its leaves are consumed as a vegetable in central and east Africa.

However, its seeds are very poisonous and can be dangerous to humans and animals if consumed.
