Somebody please tell me the scientific name of common beans that we purchase from the market!?
Baked beans are called haricot beans.


The latin name is Phaseolus vulgaris. It's a variety of Common Bean.
Reply:The term Bean originally referred to the seed of the broad bean, but was later broadened to include members of the genus Phaseolus such as the common bean or haricot and the runner bean and the related genus Vigna. The term is now applied in a general way to many other related plants such as soybeans, peas, lentils, kidney beans, vetches and lupins.

Reply:Vigna sesquipedalis. but we may not be referring to the same genus. anyway, beans belong to the genus Vigna and there are several species under it.
