THE GOA BEAN, A NEW VEGETABLE FROM THE PHILIPPINES. 
(Botor tetragonoloba (L.) Kuntze. See S. P. I. No. 45928.) 
When these square green pods with "frills" at each corner are "strung, "just as snap beans are 
treated and cooked in the same way, they make an excellent vegetable. At Brooksville, 
Fla., the season may be too short for their profitable culture, but the plant deserves a 
wider test in southern Florida. Its flowers are very attractive and would almost pass 
for sweet peas. (Photographed by David Fairchild, Plant Introduction Field Station, 
Brooksville, Fla., November 20, 1918; P24633FS.)
