Vigna luteola was first classified as Dolichos luteolus in 1771 by Nicholas von Jacquin, naming it from plants he cultivated in Vienna. In 1859, it was moved to the genus Vigna by George Bentham, classifying it as Vigna luteola. [3] The name Luteola is derived from the Latin luteus, meaning "yellow", in reference to the plant's yellow flowers. [7]
