Are these two plants different, or one and the same? I always thought Phaseolus caracalla was a Synonym for Vigna caracalla and that "Snail Vine" and "Corkscrew Vine" were the two common names? I checked the ITIS website and it says that Phaseolus caracalla is indeed a synonym for V. caracalla.

So, should there just be one listing in the database - Vigna caracalla, with Phaseolus caracalla listed as a synonym. I tried to make the change but it won't let me. Can one of the database moderators make the necessary changes?



Corkscrew Vine (Vigna caracalla)


If I'm wrong please forgive me and disregard the request, I get so confused sometimes with these botanical/scientific names.
