Hyacinth Encontrei um parecido, mas com o talho negro. O Hacinth sugerido pela Tatiana parece ser exatamente o mesmo.

stone beans

I found stone beans in pages about Cabo Verde (see links). Feijão pedra is used to make cachupa, their national dish, and "stone beans" show up in recipes for this dish. I don't think these beans are usually found in the US. If you google images, they look similar to lima beans, but are not quite the same.
