Southern peas have quite different vines than bush green beans. Pea vines are slick, bean vines are sticky. The leaves are also different. Peas are borne on stalks above the plant. Beans grow on little twins with the plant structure. Purple hulls have an added advantage in that the hulls turn dark purple when ready for use as green shellies.
