Common bean Phaseolus vulgaris, from Wikimedia.

Belongs within: Papilionoideae.
Contains: Vigna.

The Phaseolinae are a group of legumes united by the presence of a seed epihilum and a number of flower characters associated with insect pollination. Members include a number of cultivated bean species such as members of the genus Phaseolus, characterised by hooked hairs on the vegetative parts, including the common bean P. vulgaris and lima bean P. lunatus. The hyacinth bean Lablab purpureus is a widely cultivated native of Africa characterised by a laterally flattened style.
