Phaseolus texensis
Boerne bean is a perennial legume native to rocky limestone canyons of the Edwards Plateau in southwestern Texas, described as a species in 2007 and considered rare. It is a wild species of conservation interest rather than a common garden plant, so care notes are general guidance for cultivation.
Phaseolus texensis, also known as the Boerne bean, is a perennial species of legume plant in the family Fabaceae which is native to southwestern Texas on the rocky limestone canyons of Edwards Plateau. Alfonso Delgado-Salinas of the University of Mexico and Bill Carr of The Nature Conservancy of Texas described it as a new species in 2007 and recommended it be treated as vulnerable due to its rarity and the amount of human activity in its locality.
