Kacang Buncis (French Beans)
This is what any English gardener would immediately recognize as a French bean, and any French gardener as a haricot vert, though there are, of course, many varieties and cultivars. Although the generic name, Phaseolus, was applied by the Romans to all sorts of beans, P. Vulgaris was unknown in the Old World until it was brought from the Americas. The word buncis is just an Indonesias spelling of the Dutch boontjes-little beans.
