for the line... Cannellini (or fazolia,[2]), a variety popular in central and southern Italy, but was first developed in Argentina.[2] They are larger than navy beans, related to the kidney bean and, like the kidney bean, has higher levels of the toxic lectin phytohaemagglutinin.[citation needed] They are used in minestrone soups.[2]
remove... and, like the kidney bean, has higher levels of the toxic lectin phytohaemagglutinin.[citation needed] --First, this is just a random tidbit on a similar bean --doesn't add anything to discussion of topic. Second, lectins are mostly neutralized through normal preparation of beans; also, lectins in small quantities may inhibit cancer in the GI tract --but, again, isn't this all beyond the scope of the topic? — Preceding

This section is about members of the
Phaseolus vulgaris family that are not navy beans (or haricot beans, or whatever). The only characteristic they share with navy/haricot beans is that they are the same colour.
The article on
Cucumber doesn't have a section on "Other squashes"; I don't think this article should have such a section either. Apart from anything else, it's confusing; it makes it look as if those larger beans are types of navy bean. Instead, readers can go to Phaseolus vulgaris, which is linked from the first sentence of the lede, and which contains fuller descriptions of these beans anyway.
