Great shots. Beautiful flower. I had read that Vigna species can have twisted keel petals.
All Vigna species (I don’t remember any other at least now) posted so far had a twisted keel. Thanks for showing this without a twisted keel. Interesting. I hope I am correct.
It is nice feeling to notice an exception…..


Sorry friends Correct name is Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata


Nothing to be sorry about
When we don’t write the autonym, it means we are talking about the type species/variety.

the leaves remind me of my vegetable garden 10 to 20 years ago…

it could be the yard long bean.. gujarati name … Chodi
bengali…Burbatti
marathi..dont know…


I think, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. of Leguminosae family.


Thank you so much … I was worried this pretty flower was not being identified


so this is chodi afterall… thought I had seen these leaves before…
… if this in your garden… make sure you dont handle the leaves… palms are not too affected, but face and arms get the tiny hair and the hair – tips (on leaves) have a very subtle milky sap…and there is a dermatological “farmers” allergic response in humans to the vigna allergen… and then cant digest the bean
vegetable…
I should know.. am afflicted and have treated a lot of similar hapless gardeners… wear thick long sleeves when you pick you chaodi or chalai/yardlong beans…


No it is not from my garden. I spotted it nearby my house.


i thought it was identified already… yard long beanchdi, cholai….Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. of Leguminosae fam.

Vegetable Beans for ID : Mumbai : 011012 : AK-2:
A common bean seen
at Maharashtra Nature Park,Mumbai on 12/8/12.
Last picture taken in Pune on 31/5/07.

The beans are used as a vegetable.
Length of bean around 5 inches.
White flowers seen.

Its probably vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis


As the length of the bean is 5 inches as per Aarti ji, it should be Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. as per images herein.



Wild plant ID request – RK68 – 25-Dec-2012:
Request identification of this wild plant with white flowers and trifoliate leaves from Tungareshwer.

Any Spp. of Vigna
I think (V. unguiculata or V. vexillata) please identify carefully.


I just searched the species you mentioned on the internet and maybe it is Vigna unguiculata since the leaves of Vigna vexillata are quite slim in the pictures on the net. But hopefully some other experienced
members would comment on this.



ID request- 170811-PKA1:
Seen this climber with slender, pubescent stem at Ahivant gad.
Date/Time: 14-08-2011 / 02:00PM
Location: Ahivant gad, Nashik- Wani region.
Altitude: Approx: 4000 ft
Plant Habit: Climber
Habitat: Wild
Leaves: 3 foliolate,
Flowers in pairs,
Family: Fabaceae


Looks like some species of Vigna … but not sure


I think this is Vigna vexillata (L.) A.Rich.


The wing petals and the shape of the leaves may not suggest that this as V.vexillata.
In Vigna generally the wing petals are shorter than the standard petals and the keel petals beaked (which is not visible in the picture).
http://www.flowersofindia.Zombi%20Pea.html


I think it is Mucuna pruriens (L.)DC- it is extensive climber leaflets 3 ovate-triangular rhomboid-ovate apex subacute, base cuneate or inquilateral, flowers purple-mauve.
It is commomly known as Kavach or Khaj-kuilee belonging to Fabaceae


The standard petals and the floral arrangement don’t support for M. pruruens as well.
http://www.flowersofindia.Velvet%20Bean.html


Mucuna pruriens always has dark purple calyx whereas the calyx seen in the picture are green. Another reason why the plant is not M. pruriens


any chances of Dunbaria???


I think fruits are needed to assign this plant to it specific name. it looks more like Vigna.


I find it closer to images at Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.


Vigna species.. A fruit would be of help for I’d…
I will get back after some research


It could be Vigna unguiculata. please confirm it.


I went through my images of Vigna ungiculata ..the images here resembles to that. hence i can comfortably say it is Vigna unguculata; however there are few varieties in V. unguiculata as well.

Thank you very much. We also have the smaller pods with darker green. But I don’t have the pictures.
