We might have to wait for Mr. P. here, Antonia. I can't find the precise botanical manes for the veggies you want, though I can give you English explanations.

pigeon bean- I found it listed as a fava bean.

I have only found "kidney bean" listed under French beans - Phaseolus coccineus

split pea - it is a dried pea (Pisum sativum)

snow pea a cultivar of pisum, but can't find which one.

Sorry can't be more helpful
Snow peas seem to be what we call mage tout, which are samll tender peas where the whole thing is cooked and eaten, pod and all
