A high figure indicates that the variety shows the character to a high degree.
The scales of characters of winter beans do not necessarily correspond with those for spring beans.
All current varieties are coloured flower, high tannin types.
Hilum colour: The export market usually requires a pale hilum in addition to pale, smooth skins. Those indicated have predominantly pale hilums but occasionally off-types may occur in samples. Winter beans rarely meet the specifications for this market.
