SpanishDict translates both fava bean and lima bean as "habas" although they are different. Are there distinctly different Spanish translations for these two bean types?

On SpanishDict I got this under lima bean:

judía blanca (español de España), frijol blanco (Am salvo RP), poroto blanco (Andes, RP)

Another dictionary gave me this for lima bean:

fríjol de media luna, judía de la peladilla

I got "haba" for fava bean.
