What is the botanical name of the mongo bean?

Answer 1

Mung bean, also known as mung dal, moong dal, MASH bean, munggo or monggo, green gram, golden gram, and green soy, is the seed of Vigna radiata which is native to India.

The beans are small, ovoid in shape, and green in color.

The English word "mung" derives from the Hindi mung. In the South Indian Tamil language it is known as payiru, in Kannada as hesaru bele and in the Philippines as munggo or monggo.

The mung bean is one of many species recently moved from the genus Phaseolus to Vigna and is still often seen cited as Phaseolus aureus or Phaseolus radiatus. These are all the same plant.

Thus the scientific name of the seeds / plant in question is

Vigna radiata OR Phaseolus radiatus ( Old name )

It belongs to the bean family Fabaceae .
