Climbing Flat-bean

Climbing Flat Bean, Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis, commonly known as the Yard-long Bean or Asparagus Bean, is a vigorous climbing legume in the family Fabaceae widely cultivated across tropical and subtropical Asia for its extraordinarily long, edible pods. The pods, reaching up to 60–100 cm in length, are harvested when young and tender and are used extensively in Chinese, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisine. The species climbs trellises and poles using tendril-like, twining stems, producing purplish-white flowers that develop into the characteristic pendulous, slender bean pods. Like other Vigna species, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic bacteria in root nodules, improving soil fertility. Climbing Flat Bean is a warm-season crop requiring full sun, high temperatures, and adequate moisture, making it well suited to humid tropical and monsoon climates. It is an important food crop providing protein and vitamins for rural communities across Asia and is cultivated as a commercial vegetable in many tropical countries. The species is also grown in tropical America and Africa. Being a domesticated cultivar complex, its conservation status is not formally assessed in terms of wild populations, though the preservation of genetic diversity in cultivated landraces is an agricultural priority.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
