     The Indian cultigroups of V. unguiculata ssp. unguiculata, namely, Biflora (the catjang bean) and Sesquipedalis (the yardlong or asparagus bean), arose probably by selection from the early cowpea domesticates (Faris, 1965).

     Catjang bean is considered to have developed in India from cowpea (cultigroup Unguiculata) which originated in West Africa (Ng and Marechal 1985). Catjang is widely cultivated in India, China, Kampuchea, Japan, Korea, Laos, Vietnam, Africa and America.
