What's the difference between Butter Beans and Lima Beans?!
Answers:
Lima Beans (Phaseolus limensis) and Butter Beans (Phaseolus lunatus), the latter also called Sieva, Civet, or Seewee Beans!. The two species are closely related and readily cross-breed; Limas are larger and more vigorous than Butterbeans, but are less heat-resistant; but the larger, thicker Lima pods are easier to shell!. It is common for seed catalogues to confound the two species (referring to, for example, "Sieva lima beans")!.
