Narrative

Isabella is insensitive to the photoperiod and has a determinate bushy-type growth habit with a plant height < 1.0 m and between 1.2 to 1.7 m in short and long-daylength plantings, respectively. Isabella initiated flowering between 65 to 73 days and reached 50% of mature pods between 110 to 126 days after planting. Seeds are green at immature stage and beige with dark brown spots near and around the hilum at harvest. The average 100-mature seed weight is 14.6 g. Higher seed yields were observed in long-day lenght plantings in Puerto Rico with values between 1,600 to 4,300 Kg/ha [Viteri & Linares, 2023; HortScience 58(2):240–241; https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI16968-22].

Comment:

although the genus Cajanus DC. was formerly (Berlin ICBN App. IIIA) treated as conserved over the rejected Cajan Adans., since the Vienna ICBN the two are treated as orthographic variants, with Cajanus Adans. 'Cajan the conserved spelling', such that Huth's binomial is no longer a tautonym (Shenzhen ICN Art. 23.4), his generic spelling being correctable under Shenzhen ICN Art. 61.4
