Commentary

Etymology

"runner" = a vine that twines up a pole or string

Notes

Runner beans get their name from the way they grow. The fast-growing vine "runs" or twines around a string-trellis or pole, soon covering it with dense foliage. The vines produce both attractive red flowers and edible beans. source: Wikipedia
