Abstract

Cowpea or “judía de vaca” variability in the Murcia Region is studied under organic conditions. Fourteen accessions studied are grouped in six well-defi ned cultivarieties, from which four (bisuelo, habichuela, chicharro negro, judía culebra) are related with the sesquipedalis group, while two (caricas del señor y cerigüelos) with the unguiculata group. A detailed description of the species is included. Finally, the importance of these cultivarieties in organic production is discussed in the context of their endangered survival.
