Abstract
According to the taxonomy, the bean belongs to the genus Phaseolus, which includes approximately 35 species of which 4 are cultivated: P. vulgaris L.; P. lunatus L.; P. coccineus L., and P. acutifolius L. (Arias-Restrepo et al. 2007). Phaseolus lunatus L. belongs to the Fabaceae family, and there are two domesticated genetic stocks from two different wild forms with two seed morphologies, small and large (Debouk 2019). The small seeds are known as ib., patashete and futuna (Yucatan, Chiapas, and Jalapa, Mexico, respectively), caballero bean (Cuba), ixtapacal (Guatemala), chilipuca (El Salvador), haba (Puerto Rico and Panama), sieva and comba (Colombia), and guaracaro (Venezuela), among others. The large seeds are known as lima, layo and pallar (Peru), torta (Colombia), palato (Bolivia), and manteotto (Argentina) (Debouk 2019).
