(DOLICHOS LABLAB L. 



Gathering Bonavist Beans in Southern Florida. 



S. P. I. No. 47977.) 



The bonavist bean is a perennial rank-growing species which forms a satisfactory ground cover 

 in orchards. It produces its pods clustered on short erect stalks which project above the 

 foliage, making them easy to gather. Its beans, both when young and green and when dried, 

 are an excellent vegetable which deserves to be known in all frostless regions where the plant 

 will grow. (Photographed by David Fairchild, Miami, Fla., February 11, 1919; P25266.)
