''Vigna'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution.〔Aitawade, M. M., et al. (2012). (Section ''Ceratotropis'' of subgenus ''Ceratotropis'' of ''Vigna'' (Leguminosae–Papilionoideae) in India with a new species from northern Western Ghats. ) ''Rheedea'' 22(1), 20-27.〕 It includes some well-known cultivated species, including many types of beans. Some are former members of the genus ''Phaseolus''. According to ''Hortus Third'', ''Vigna'' differs from ''Phaseolus'' in biochemistry and pollen structure, and in details of the style and stipules. ''Vigna'' are herbs or occasionally subshrubs. The leaves are pinnate, divided into 3 leaflets. The inflorescence is a raceme of yellow, blue, or purple pea flowers. The fruit is a legume pod of varying shape containing seeds.〔(''Vigna''. ) Flora of China.〕 Familiar food species include the adzuki bean (''V. angularis''), the black gram (''V. mungo''), the cowpea (''V. unguiculata''), and the mung bean, which is used as a whole bean, a bean paste, or as bean sprouts. The genus is named after Domenico Vigna, a seventeenth-century Italian botanist and director of the Orto botanico di Pisa.〔Charters, M.
