Compliments of Westbrae Naturals. Sfgate.com states: "Scarlet runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus) are native to Mexico and south through Panama, in high humid mountains from 4,000 to 8,000 feet. They have been grown by upland farmers of the region for at least two millennia, mainly as a dry bean crop. They were introduced to Europe in the 1600s, but for the next 100 years were grown there only as an ornamental".
