For arriving at exact name please mention the fruit length of your plant:<\/div>\n

Yes … For this key I had taken the help of Flora of China<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242354390<\/font><\/a>
<\/font><\/div>\n
These three are the only species of the genus described in Bailey: Manual of Cultivated Plants, an old (1949) but very reliable book,:<\/div>\n
V. sesquepedalis<\/i>: Asparagus bean<\/b>, yard-long-bean: pod 1-3 ft long, pendent, more or less inflated and flabby when green; seeds 8-12 mm long.<\/font><\/div>\n
V. sinensis<\/i>: cowpea<\/b>: pod 8-12 inch long, not inflated or flabby when green, pendent; seed 6-12 mm long.<\/font><\/div>\n
V. cylindrica<\/i>: Catjang<\/b>: pod 3-5 inch long, not inflated or flabby when green, erect or ascending; seed less than 6 mm long, about as broad as long.<\/font>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I didn’t read the descriptions in FoC, this morning. Instead, i spent more time to find Vigna catjang<\/i> Endl. in GRIN and The Plant List. But, couldn’t find any mention of Endlicher anywhere.<\/div>\n
