The Lavafield Jack-bean (Canavalia pubescens) is a plant species in the legume family (Fabaceae). It is found only on several of the Hawaiian Islands.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. It is threatened by habitat destruction, mainly due to introduced grazing mammals.
