A common variation of the black-eyed pea is the purple hull pea, it is usually green with a prominent purple or pink spot.

The currently accepted botanical name for the black-eyed pea is Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata, although previously it was classified in the genus Phaseolus.dekindtiana is the wild relative and Vigna unguiculata subsp sesquipedalis is the related asparagus bean.
