Vigna is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes some well-known cultivated species, including many types of beans. Some are former members of the genus Phaseolus. According to Hortus Third, Vigna differs from Phaseolus in biochemistry and pollen structure, and in details of the style and stipules.
Vigna are herbs or occasionally subshrubs. The leaves are pinnate, divided into 3 leaflets. The inflorescence is a raceme of yellow, blue, or purple pea flowers. The fruit is a legume pod of varying shape containing seeds.[2]
There are 100 or more species in genus Vigna.[2][3][4] It has a pantropical distribution.[3]
Familiar food species incluse the azuki bean (V. angularis), the black gram (V. mungo), the cowpea (V. unguiculata), and the mung bean, which is used as a whole bean, a bean paste, or as bean sprouts.
The genus is named after Domenico Vigna, a seventeenth-century Italian botanist and director of the Orto botanico di Pisa.[5]
