The Phaseolus lunatus plant is a climbing vine that produces curved pods with usually 5-15 cm long, containing the seeds and can be a perennial twining vine or an herbaceous bush but is usually grown as an annual. It has small, white, pale green, or rose-violet flowers. There are many cultivars, including wild and cultivated forms, which are classified based on seed characteristics. The dried vines, leaves and empty pods left after the harvest can used as fodder.

In traditional medicine, the leaves have been used for headaches, and the seeds for treating abscesses.
