Description of Legumes 
Glottidium vesicarium (BAGrop)—A tall 
widely branching annual herb up to 12 feet 
in height, with yellow flowers and pinnate 
leaves. It is also called bladder pod and 
occurs on moist sites of the Coastal Plain 
from North Carolina to Texas. The plant 
makes good growth in a short time in damp 
areas on depleted soils and may aid in ero- 
sion control if planted with a lower, closer 
ground cover. Cattle are known to eat the 
seeds. 
(AMERICAN 
species, a 
clusters of 
Glyeyrrhiza lepidota Pursh 
LICORICE)—The only American 
perennial herb with axillary 
white, yellow, or bluish flowers, pinnate 
leaves, and prickly pods. It occurs through- 
out the States west of the Mississippi River 
in a variety of sites. It is of low palatability, 
and although shade-tolerant and a good soil 
binder it is in some places considered a 
weed, since it spreads rapidly by rootstocks 
and the prickly pods or burs are a nuisance. 
Gymnocladus dioica (L) Koch 
TUCKY COFFEETREE)—A tall 
with large compound leaves and terminal 
racemes of whitish flowers. It occurs in 
rich woods from central New York to Ten- 
nessee, west to South Dakota and Oklahoma. 
The leaves and pods are considered poison- 
ous to cattle and sheep, although cases of 
poisoning are infrequent. 
(KEN- 
unarmed tree 
Halimodendron halodendron oss (SALT- 
TREE)—A spreading shrub up to 6 feet in 
height with purplish flowers, also known as 
Siberian sandthorn, native to the salt steppes 
of central Asia. It is grown as an ornamen- 
tal for its handsome profuse flowers. 
Hedysarum —A genus of some 100 species 
of perennial herbs or small shrubs of the 
north temperate region. About 10 occur in 
the western United States, and one of these, 
the northern sweetvetch, Hedysarum boreale 
Nutt., extends across the northern plains 
into the Northeastern States. The plants are 
sometimes confused with species of Astra- 
galus but differ by having jointed pods, 
gland-dotted leaves, and squarish-tipped flow- 
ers. -They are sometimes called sullaclovers 
and sweetvetches, and are of fair palatabil- 
ity, being relished by all classes of livestock. 
Hoffmanseggia drepanocarpa Gray 
(SICKLEPOD RUSHPEA)—A species similar to 
the preceding. It occurs on dry hills from 
western Texas to Colorado and Arizona. 
Indigofera caroliniana alt (CAROLINA 
InpIGo)—A tall branching perennial herb, 
with pinnate leaves and yellowish-brown 
flowers. It occurs in pine woods from North 
Carolina to Florida and Louisiana. 
Krameria secundiflora DC (TRAILING 
RATANY)—A low-spreading perennial, often 
woody at the base, with simple leaves and 
red or yellow flowers. It is also called Texas 
ratany and sandbur and occurs on a great 
variety of soils from southern Arizona to 
western Texas northward in the Plains to 
Kansas. Its widely spreading roots and slen- 
der trailing, almost vinelike herbaceous 
stems, which develop from a woody crown, 
indicate promise as an erosion-control plant. 
Lathyrus venosus Mull (V EIN Y PEA- 
VINE)—A decumbent or climbing purple- 
flowered perennial occurring on river banks 
from New Jersey to Georgia and Texas. 
Lathyrus palustris L (MarsH PEAVINE) 
—A slender purple-flowered perennial of 
moist sites. It occurs from the New Eng- 
land States west to the Pacific Coast and 
also in Europe and Asia. 
Lens esculenta L (Lentit)—A much- 
branched annual, 1 to 2 feet tall, native to 
Southern Europe. Its highly nutritious 
seeds, one or two to the pod, have made it 
one of the important food plants of man 
since ancient time. It is only occasionally 
grown in the United States. The magnify- 
ing glass was called a lens because it was | 
shaped like the seed of this plant.
