Comment/Acknowledgements:
According to Verdcourt (Kew Bull.24:559.1970), this is undoubtedly the wild form of mung and probably of urd as well. As pointed out by Prain (J.As.Soc. Beng.66.422.1898) mung or green gram (
Vigna radiata
var.
radiata
) and urd or black gram [
Vigna mungo
(L.) Hepper] are scarcely more than variants of one species, but have so long been kept separate that it is practical to continue to do the same.
