ABSTRACT
SuperAraucana-INIA is the first lentil cultivar developed in Chile by crossing (Araucana-INIA x Tekoa) x De la Mata, which was first done at the Quilamapu Research Center of the National Institute of Agricultural Investigations (INIA) in 1984. Its main characteristic is the production of 70% of the seeds with over a 7mm diameter, which is called "lentejón" in the internal market, and a yield similar to Araucana-INIA. SuperAraucana-INIA is susceptible to the lentil rust caused by Uromyces fabae f. sp. lentis, making necessary its protection with fungicides, especially when it is planted in dry coastal loam soils in winter and rich lowland soils in spring.

The ‘Castile-Leon Book of Gastronomy’ (Libro de Gastronomía de Castilla y Leon), published in 1987 by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Castile-Leon regional government states that
‘Castile-Leon is notable for producing the rubia castellana, also known as lentejón, lenteja de la reina or rubia de la Armuña salmantina, which in its place of origin is called gigante de Gomecello or pardina de Tierra de Campos, in Valladolid is known as verdina, very popular in purées and creams, in Burgos it goes under the name of lentejas de Villalta and in Leon is referred to as lentejas de Babia’.

Explanation: "Lentejones", in the Spanish-speaking world, usually refers to "lentejas de la reina" or "lentejas rubias". They are distinguished (as the name suggests) by their large size. It is true that according to some definitions, not all large lentils are strictly "lentejones", and that this term is applied particularly to what are sometimes marketed as "castellana lentils", but there is no fixed term in English for this particular type of large lentil, and in any case the term "lentejones" is applied to several large varieties in different countries, so I think the common generic term "large lentils" is the best option.
The following references come from Argentinian sites:
"Las más comunes son las lentejas verdes o verdina (variedad Dupuyensis), de pequeño tamaño y color verde o verde amarillento con manchas negruzcas; las llamadas lentejones, lentejas rubias o de la reina, entre las que se encuentran la rubia castellana y la rubia de La Armuña (variedad Vulgaris)" http://www.drcormillot.com/index.php?s=enciclopedia&t=604
"La segunda variedad son lentejas de mayor tamaño (entre 6 y 9mm de diámetro) y de colores más cálidos, como los llamados lentejones, las lentejas rubias y las lentejas amarillas, de origen asiático". http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:AnXtoZa3u9UJ:www.c...
The usual expression in English is simply "large lentils". There are several varieties from different countries:
"Medium and large lentils take longer to cook than smaller varieties and decorticated varieties. Brown/Spanish Pardina lentils belong in this group and are clay-colored. French Green or Puy lentils are dark blue-green. Yellow or Tan lentils, which are actually red inside, are also a large variety. Richlea are medium, light-green and Laird are large and deep green. Lastly, Masoor lentils are deep red with brown skins and Macachiados are giant, yellow lentils from Mexico." http://www.ehow.com/info_8400195_types-lentils-cooking-times...
"The seeds resemble little discs, bulging in the centre, and occur in a whole range of colours. Generally they are disc-shaped and can be subdivided into two sizes:
* large lentils or macrospermae
* small lentils or microspermae" http://www.theworldwidegourmet.com/products/vegetables/lenti...
