I read about them when I first moved to Florida. Silvia was kind enough to send me a few and I have saved seed ever since. I have looked at a lot of seed catalogs since and have never seen a bean quite like them offered. I got some black lima beans from Baker this week, but they are a lot plumper than the jungle beans. Do we know where they came from or their science name? They are a tasty little butter bean and all Florida veg gardeners should give them a try if they get a chance.

Note to Silvia: I'll put my remaining seed in the ground today or tomorrow.
