PHASEOLUS 



not readily splitting at maturity : beans very large, 

 white, red, black or speckled. South Aiiier.— Widely 

 grown in the tropics, and one of the richest of beans. 

 Unreliable in the northern .states because of the short, 

 cool seasons. There are two forms in cult, in the U. S. : 

 Flat- or Large-seeded Limas, with seeds very ffat and 



1745. Leaf of Phaseolus vulearis. 



veiny and more or less lunate in shape, and very broad 

 flat pods, with a distinct but not prominent pod, and 

 broad-ovate Ifts.; Potato Limas, with smaller tumid 

 seeds, shorter and thicker pods, with a very short point, 

 and long-ovate, tapering Ifts., with angular base. In 

 both these groups there are dwarf or bush forms, — Bur- 

 pee Dwarf Lima in the former, and Kumerle Dwarf 

 Lima in the latter. The Lima Bean is perennial in the 

 tropics. 



cc. Beans relatively small, oblong and nearly cylin- 

 drical. 

 8. vulgaris, Linn. Common Bean. Kidney Bean of 

 the English. Hakicot of the French. Figs. 1745-7. 



Slender, 

 ovate or 

 petioles, few-fld 

 yellowish or blue 

 curved, provided 



less pubescent: Ifts. rho 



, acuminate: peduncles shorter than the 



■ near the apex: lis. small, white, 



urple : pod slender, somewhat 



[ a straight or curved tip. Now 



believed to bo tropical American.— Here belong all the 

 common garden pole l,i:ins, iiside from the Lima types, 

 including the PmIp ('r:inli.n\ (Fig. 1747), and so-called 

 Horticultural Liiii;i. l;un^ into very many forms. 



Var. n4nus (/'. ti'hnis. Linn.). Bush Bean. A do- 

 mesticated race, differing only in its dwarf or "bush" 

 habit. It is now the more popular type, particularly in 

 America, since it requires no labor in providing poles 

 or other support. This includes all the common gar- 

 den and field h( m 



PHELLOUENDKON 



irregularly angular-truncate. P. carinatus. Martens. 

 Climbing: pod falcate and rugose; seeds teretish, elon- 

 gated, somewhat trimcate-carinate. P. oblongus, Savi. 

 Dwarf, erect: pod subcylindrical, straightish, long- 

 mucronate; seeds subreniform-cylindric, twice longer 

 than broad. P, ellipticits. Martens. Low, erect or 

 somewhat climbing: pod straightish, more or less 

 torulose; seeds small, tumid-elliptic. P. sphcericits. 

 Martens. Nearly erect, or climbing; pod straightish 

 and constricted; seeds large and subglobose.
