We all love beans in tomato sauce, but, what is the name of the plant the beans come from?

The beans used for tinned baked beans are usually haricot beans, but Heinz use Navy beans - very similar but bigger.
They grow on a climbing plant similar to broad beans

The term Bean originally referred to the seed of the broad bean, but was later broadened to include members of the genus Phaseolus such as the common bean or haricot and the runner bean and the related genus Vigna.

Most commercial tinned baked beans such as Heinz are made from haricot beans, a.k.a. Boston beans or Navy beans, a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

Another vote for the bean plant.

Most commercial tinned baked beans use haricot beans. Homemade versions can use other varieties, usually some sort of white bean.

They are navy beans - aka pea bean or haricot bean, usually the cannellini or great northern variety.
