Phaseolus esquincensis Freytag (2002: 170) View in CoL [clade A; sect. Xanthotricha A. Delgado ]. TYPE: GF Freytag 78-Mex-75 (HOLOTYPE: US-3168870 ; ISOTYPES: BR, F-2107873,GH,K-262842, MICH-1210017 ,NA-27952).

Apparently known only from the type material, this member of the Xanthotricha has been validated elsewhere ( Delgado-Salinas et al. 2006). While the other members of this section have variously shaped tuberous taproots, this species seems to have a fibrous root; the terminal leaflets are hastately lobed, markedly towards the base (infrequent trait).
