Phaseolus acutifolius
''Phaseolus acutifolius'', the Tepary bean, is native to the southwestern United States and Mexico and has been grown there by the native peoples since pre-Columbian times. It is more drought-resistant than the common bean (''Phaseolus vulgaris'') and is grown in desert and semi-desert conditions from Arizona through Mexico to Costa Rica. The water requirements are low and the crop will grow in areas where annual rainfall is less than .
==Description==
The tepary bean is an annual and can be climbing, trailing, or erect with stems up to long. A narrow leafed, variety ''tenuifolius'', and a broader leafed, variety ''latifolius'', are known. Domestic varieties are derived from ''latifolius''. In the Sonora desert, "the flowers appear with the summer rains, first appearing in late August, with the pods ripening early in the fall dry season, most of them in October."〔Nabhan, Gary P. and Felger, Richard S. "Teparies in Southwestern North America: A Biogeographical and Ethnohistorical Study of Paseolus acutifolius" ''Economic Botany'' Vol 32, No. 1, (Jan-Mar 1978), pp 6-7〕 The beans can be of nearly any color. There are many local landraces. Beans vary in size but tend to be small. They mature 60 to 120 days after planting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray )〕
Other names for this native bean include Pawi, Pavi, Tepari, Escomite, Yori mui, Yorimuni and Yori muni. The name ''tepary'' may derive from the Tohono O'odham phrase ''t'pawi'' or "It's a bean".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tepary Bean )〕 It should be noted that the name for a small bean was recorded in the 17th century, in the now extinct Eudeve language of northern Mexico, as tépar (accusative case, tépari).〔Campbell W. Pennington, 1981, Arte y vocabulario de la lengua dohema, heve o eudeva, Mexico City: UNAM, p. 230.〕 Names that contain yori in them typically refer to non-native species of beans since those names mean 'non-Indian person's bean'.〔Richard Stephen Felger & Mary Beck Moser, 1985, People of the Desert and Sea: Ethnobotany of the Seri Indians, Tucson, University of Arizona Press, p. 342.〕
