In Arachis hypogcea (Fig. 32), Voandzeia subterranea 

 and Trifolium subterraneum, &c. the fruiting pedicels are 

 driven into the ground, and the maturation of the fruit 

 completed below the surface of the soil. 



In Amphicarpcea there are two forms of fruit on the 

 same plant, the lower flowers producing subterranean 

 indehiscent and 1-2 seeded achenes : the upper legumes 

 with several seeds.
