Jim,

I am familiar with this native plant. It is quite different from the ornamental 
vines labelled /Vigna caracalla/ (syn. /Phaseolus caracalla/).

The two vines in question may simply part of the normal variation within the 
species. But they are so different that they should at least have different 
common names like broccoli and cauliflower which are the same species but 
clearly different.
