BUYERS GUIDE 

Description of Legumes 
Phaseolus polystachyus (THICKET BEAN) 
—A branched vine up to 15 feet in length 
from a perennial root, with purple or whit- 
ish flowers. It is one of the few widely dis- 
tributed species native to the United States, 
occurring in thickets from Connecticut to 
Florida, westward to Nebraska and Texas. 
It has been experimentally used as a road- 
side erosion-control plant with fair success. 
Pisum sativum L (GARDEN PEA)—The 
garden pea is a white-flowered tendril-bear- 
ing annual, native to the Mediterranean re- 
gion and eastward to the Himalayas. 
The field pea (var. arvense Poir.) is a 
cool-weather variety of the garden pea with 
brown- to black-speckled seeds in place of 
the green or yellow seeds of the garden pea. 
It is much grown in Canada; hence the 
name Canadian field pea. In the South it 
is used as a green-manure and winter-cover 
crop and is there known as Austrian Winter 
pea. 
Pithecellobium—More than 100 species 
of trees and shrubs occurring throughout 
the Tropics and subtropics. About five spe- 
cies are native to the United States, occur- 
ring in southern Texas and southern Florida. 
These include the Ebony blackbead or Tex- 
as-ebony, Pithecellobium flexicaule (Benth.) 
Coulter, which has edible seeds and durable 
wood locally used for fence posts, and the 
guajillo, huajillo, or blackbead, Pithecello- 
bium brevifolium Benth., also of southern 
Texas, which is of some importance as win- 
ter browse for sheep and goats. 
Prosopis chilensis (Mol) Stuntz (Mes- 
guITE)—A shrub or tree up to 20 feet or 
more, occurring from southwestern United 
States to Chile. It is sometimes called al- 
garroba and has bipinnate leaves with small 
narrow leaflets. sweet-scented. greenish-yel- 
low flowers in long cylindrical racemes and 
slender pods 4 to 8 inches long borne in 
drooping clusters. 
Prosopis pubescens Benth (FREMONT 
SCREWBEAN)—A shrub or tree of the South- 
west, with bipinnate leaves. spikes of yellow 
flowers, and spirally coiled pods. It occurs 
from west Texas to southern California. 
Psoralea esculenta Pursh (INDIAN BREAD- 
root)—A perennial herb of the Great Plains 
from Wisconsin to Texas and westward. 
It is about 2 feet tall, or less, has dense clus- 
ters of bluish flowers and palmately 5- 
parted leaves. In appearance the plant re- 
sembles a lunine, but lupines do not have 
tuberous roots nor gland-dotted leaves. 
Pueraria thunbergiana (Sieb and Zucc) 
Benth (Kupzv)—A vigorous fast-growing 
perennial vine native to Tanan and China 
and grown in the United States from Penn- 
sylvania to Florida. In the Northern States 
it has been used for some time as an orna- 
mental screen, largelv for its dense foliage 
of large attractive trifoliolate leaves. In the 
Southeastern States it is assuming an im- 
portant role as forage and for revegetating 
gullies and other eroded areas. As it does 
not seed heavily in the United States. it is 
best propagated from 2-year-old root crowns 
possessing fleshy roots and sound buds. It 
may also be grown from 1l-year-old seed- 
lings and bv noded enttings from 2-year-old 
vines. Under favorable conditions it mav 
produce a dense growth in 1 year, but 2 or 3 
years are usually necessary for it to develon 
a ground cover, after which the plant grows 
profusely and spreads rapidly. Its ranid 
growth and habit of rooting at the nodes 
make it especiallv efficient as an erosion- 
control plant. Since it climbs readily it 
must not be planted with trees or shrubs. 
which it may smother. It can, however. be 
controlled by plowing or heavy grazing. 
Rhynchosia erecta (Walt) DC (Erect 
RHYNCHOSIA)—An erect rather stout peren- 
nial herb 1 to 3 feet tall, with yellow flow- 
ers and trifoliolate leaves. It occurs in dry 
soils from Delaware to Florida, Tennessee, 
and Louisiana. 
Robinia pseudoacacial (BLACK Locust) 
—A tree originally occurring in the Appa- 
lachians and Ozark Mountains but now 
widely cultivated in the United States, 
southern Canada, and parts of Europe.
