Grew some climbing beans this year. My Aunt gave them to my Moither. Their brother got these beans originally from Mr Turner, the local barber. They just called them Turner beans.
They are a climbing bean. We ate them mostly as a green bean. The pods were tender even when they got to a medium size. If we didn't get them picked soon enough, even if they were larger than green bean size, they still cooked up easily without any fuss and tasted great.
At the end of the season, we let some go to dry bean stage. So when we shelled them, the beans inside were like this. (Didn't take a picture of the seeds before we planted them)
My search on the internet yielded "Ojo de Cabra" as the most likely name for this bean.
‘Ojo de Cabra’ (Tarahumara Ojo de Cabra aka Goat’s Eye aka Eye of the Goat
This bean originally comes from the Tarahumara Native Americans from the northwest region of Mexico. The beans can be used as a green bean or as a shelled cooking bean. It is quick to make beans and productive. 50 seeds for $2.25.

OJO DE CABRA #BN140 Pole. The name means “Eye of the Goat” and the lengthwise brown stripes that some of the seeds exhibit are certainly reminiscent of the vertical pupil of a goat’s eye. There are a number of native varieties of this name; ours appears to be the Tarahumara Indians landrace type, since it throws a few dark purple beans. A favorite variety in Baja California and northern Mexico, this unusual bean cooks up firm and sweet and keeps its rich color. Pkt $3.00
