Hello Mike!

When I planted soybeans, I lived in a tropical mountain region, near the
Tropic of Capricorn  but at 1,000m. altitude.  Summers were quite hot, but
we had three or four frosts in winter.

The lab lab which is used here is  local, and I confess that I donĀ“t know
its Scientific name-- it is not sold in the stores but only traded through
neighbors.  .

Scientific name is Lablab purpureus, also Lablab niger both edible and native of tropical Africa.  There are a lot of cultivars.
