The lectin from Bowringia mildbraedii seeds crystallizes in the presence of the disaccharide Man(α1‐2)Man. The best crystals grow at 293 K within four weeks after a pre‐incubation at 277 K to induce nucleation. A complete data set was collected to a resolution of 1.90 Å using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belong to space group I 222, with unit‐cell parameters a = 66.06, b = 86.35, c = 91.76 Å, and contain one lectin monomer in the asymmetric unit.
