I could find that 9 kinds of legumes, i.e. soybean, Adzuki bean, mungbean, cowpea, pea, broad bean, kidney bean, hyacinth bean, and peanuts, and also could find that soybean, Adzuki bean, mungbean, cowpea and pea were cultivated more than 500 years in Korea, but broad bean, kidney bean, hyacinth bean, Yokohama bean and peanuts were introduced during 1787-1886. Several other leguminous crops, lima bean, jack bean, scarlet bean, pigeon pea and winged bean were also introduced during 20 century into Korea. Variety names and their characteristics of varieties were recorded on soybean, Adzuki bean and mungbean in old books published during 1492-1886. 8 soybean varieties and their characteristics of soybean were illustrated in old books published during 1492-1799, and 14 soybean varieties and their characteristics of soybean were illustrated in old books published during 1825-1845. 7 varieties names and their characteristics of Adzuki bean were illustrated in old books published during 1492-1799, and 11 varieties and their characteristics of Adzuki bean were also illustrated in old books published during 1825-1845.
