-Leaves are normally hairy and alternate.
-Flowers are clastogamous where pollination and fertilization occur within unopened.
flower bud. That is beans are 100% elf pollinated and thus difficult to get hybrid bean plant limiting genetic diversity. This is advantageous to the farmer as the plant does not lose its vigour.
