Pedunculares
Vigna is a genus of plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution. It includes some well-known cultivated species, including many types of beans. Some members of the genus were previously classified in Phaseolus. According to Hortus Third, Vigna differs from Phaseolus in biochemistry and pollen structure, and in the details of the style and stipules.
Vigna is also commonly confused with the genus Dolichos, but the two differ in stigma structure.
