Spanish term or phrase: habichuela
This is a type of bean which appears in a list. There are a lot of contradictory references for this... some sources say it's a kidney bean and some a string bean (quite a difference!) among others. I need to know specifically what they would be using this word for in Colombia.

Phaseolus lunatus L
PROCEDENCIASe cree que la habichuela es originaria del oeste de México y Guatemala pero en general, se ha adoptado a Centro América como su sitio de procedencia[1]. En Colombia, las zonas de producción se localizan de los 800-2500 msnm, lo que corresponde a los departamentos del eje cafetero, Antioquia, Cundinamarca y Boyacá , así como en los departamentos del Cauca, Nariño, Huila, Valle del Cauca y Tolima.[2]. Según las personas consultadas; la habichuela que aquí se comercializa procede de Ipiales en el departamento de Nariño y de Cali en el Valle; cabe resaltar que a su vez la ciudad de Cali se surte de varios municipios del mismo departamento.

bean


Explanation:
Best to stay generic I think. My impression from the search below is that its the common bean.

"kidney" is RD and PR but maybe not CO.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The only problem with staying generic (in this case) is that they also include frijol in the same list :/

agree  Jesús Morales: Yes. Habichuela its the name used for bean in some parts of Spain. Habichuelas, judías, alubias all have the same meaning.

Reference information:
Here is a picture of habichuela from a Colombian website which sells beans: http://1705.co.all.biz/habichuela-g5776. Sadly they don't sell 'frijoles' to compare but to me, coming at it from a culinary point of view they look like fava beans (also called Lima beans, butter beans) or cannellini beans.

On this website they list beans with their pictures and different names. http://www.recipes4us.co.uk/Dried_Beans_and_Peas.htm#Types_o...

A dish using 'frijoes' in Colombia uses pinto beans http://www.mycolombianrecipes.com/paisa-pinto-beans-frijoles...

Sorry - probably just confused you more.

Frijol y Habichuela parecen son los mismos simplemente con habichuela se utiliza la vaina entera

Broad beans are a different type of bean: Vicia faba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicia_faba
The beans shown in the photo on AllegroTrans's link are labelled Phaeolus lunatus, which are lima beans/butter beans, but the picture actually shows green beans (sometimes also known as wax beans) and even names some of the varieties, such as Blue Lake and Tendergreen, which are also listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_bean

Yes, can't remember how to do that - is it top right-hand corner of the page, "Edit glossary entry" or something, visible if you're the question asker?

Note to reference poster
Asker: Aha... now this seems to be getting much closer to the bone. The Spanish page of your reference confirms that the habichuela (Colombia) is one of the unripe versions of Phaseolus vulgaris. In other words, they would be green beans. I guess that gives an explanation of why they differentiate between the two in the field. .. it's not a different species, but the harvest time is different. Now, I wonder how I go about changing my glossary entry.
