Aa per Reasearchgate paper <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/302395653_Vigna_angularis>, Azuki <https://www.nature.com/articles/srep08069> (*Vigna angularis* var. *angularis*) is regarded to have been domesticated in China, Manchuria, Korea or Japan from its wild ancestral form, *Vigna angularis *var. *nipponensis* (Ohwi) Ohwi & Ohashi. Recently, the natural distribution of Vigna angularis var. nipponensis was reported to be wider than recognized before, ranging from Japan, Korea, China to Himalaya (Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal). Almost all global production of azuki occurs in four countries: Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea.
Checklist of Nepal <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242354364> mentions only *Vigna angularis* var. *nipponensis* (Willd.) Ohwi & H. Ohashi. I think being wild, we may take all our posts from Nepal at Vigna angularis <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/f/fabaceae/vigna/vigna-angularis> as *Vigna angularis* var. *nipponensis* (Willd.) Ohwi & H. Ohashi only. On Thu, 15 Oct 2020 at 21:39, J.M.
