Abstract
The wild, red-flowered Phaseolus glabellus is generally considered eit her as a species of the P. coccineus complex or as a subspecies of P. coccineus. Biogeographic considerations as well as experimental hybrid ization, seed storage protein electrophoresis and cpDNA polymorphism p oint at its isolated taxonomic position and distinctness from P. cocci neus. The position of P. glabellus in Phaseolus and its relationships with the remaining taxa of the P. coccineus complex are discussed.
