Phaseolus acutifolius Gray. Cette espèce, qui se caractérise par des folioles étroites et pointues, des grains en général assez petits, blancs et plats, est connue aux États-Unis sous le nom de Tepary bean. Traditionnellement cultivée par les Indiens du Nord du Mexique et de l'Arizona, [...] elle a été introduite avec succès en Afrique dans la zone de climat sahélien. Son usage sera cependant réservé à des conditions de culture extensive non irriguées, car le Tepary bean répond faiblement à la fumure et à l'irrigation. 5, record 2, French, - haricot%20Tepary
