Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1294 PHASEOLUS PHASEOLUS. 1738. Ribbon GrassâPhalaris arundinacea, var. variegata. (See pcage 1293.) â PHASEOLUS (ancient Latin name, somewhat altered, of a bean). Zegumindsa'. Bean. Annual or perennial mostly twining herbs, or some of them woody at the base, with mostly pinnately 3-foIiolate stipellate leaves, axillary peduncles bearing clusters of white, yellow, red or purplish papilionaceous flowers, and more or less compressed (tlat-sided) several to many-seeded 2-valved pods. Many species have been described, all of warm countries, but there are probably not more thau 100 kinds that can be clearly separated as species. From its allied genera, Phaseolus is separated by minute characters of calyx, style and keel. In Phaseolus the style is bearded along the inner side, and the stigma is oblique or lateral rather than capitate on the end of the style; the keel is coiled into a spiral body, including the 10 diadelphous stamens (in 9 and 1). Since Phaseoli are tropical or warm-country plants, they must not be subjected to frost. Most of them are garden annuals which are given a warm place after all danger of frost is past. One of them, P. OaracaUa, is sometimes grown as a greenhouse climber, but in Cali- fornia and other warm parts it thrives in the open and climbs hedges and trees, often smothering them. The culture is set forth iinder Bean, but the species are contrasted below. See, also, Canavalia, Glycine, Mucuna, Vicia, Vigna.
