__NOTOC__
== Name and History ==
Grown since the early 1900s by the Lohrey family in northwestern Tasmania. Also called Lohrey's Zebra, and perhaps also Natural Salt. Reputed to have a naturally salty flavor.

== Description ==

Growth:
Mid-season tall climbing plants. Prolific. Stems sometimes have purple-red stripes. Just-emerged cotyledons have purple streaks.

Flowers:
Large and mauve, with purple-striped green bases. Buds and old flowers are an interesting yellow/pink color.

Pods:
Long (8"), slightly flattened, and stringless. Green pods that often have a purple stripe down their seam, and turn yellow and get a red blush and/or streaks as they mature. Easily shelled when dry. 5-7 seeds per pod.

Seeds:
Large and flattened. Freshly-shelled seeds are white and navy blue, drying to light brown with black stripes. In longer storage the brown darkens further.

== Uses and Opinions ==
A dual-purpose variety that can be used for snaps and dry beans.
