BUYERS GUIDE 


Description of Legumes 
Baptisia tinctoria (YELLOW WILD-INDIGO) 
—A branched yellow-flowered perennial herb 
of dry sandy soil throughout the Eastern 
States. It is a pioneer plant on burned-over 
pine land. Indigo dye is obtained from this 
species, as it is from certain other species 
of the genus. The root and sometimes the 
herb are used medicinally, and the young 
shoots are eaten like asparagus. 
Calliandra eriophylla Benth (FALSE- 
MESQUITE)—A spreading shrub about 2 feet 
high, also known as mesquitillo, bastard mes- 
quite, and fairy duster, which occurs from 
western Texas to California, 
Cassia tora L (SICKLE SENNA)—A gla- 
brous annual about 2 feet tall, with yellow 
flowers sometimes 1 inch broad. It occurs 
along river banks from Pennsylvania to In- 
diana and Missouri, south to Texas and 
Florida. A common weed in our Southern 
States, it is also found throughout the Trop- 
ics, and is sometimes called low senna. Be- 
cause of its vigorous growth, it has been 
recommended as a green manure plant in 
Texas. 
Cassia occidentalis  (Corrre sENNA)— 
A. much-branched yellow-flowered glabrous 
annual 4 to 6 feet tall. It occurs from Vir- 
ginia to Missouri, south to Florida and 
Texas, and in the Tropics of both hemi- 
spheres. Although often considered a weed, 
this plant is of possible value as a sand 
binder in the Southern States, for it grows 
well in sand and is very heat- and drought- 
resistant. 
Cassia marilandica L (AMERICAN SENNA) 
—A little-branched pubescent perennial herb 
3 to 8 feet tall. 
Caragana arborescens Lam (SIBERIAN 
PEA-TREE)—A shrub or small tree up to 20 
feet in height, with bright-yellow ornamental 
flowers. It is best adapted to sandy, alka- 
line soil and sunny situations of the north- 
ern Great Plains, and is rather easily propa- 
gated by seeds, root cuttings, or layers. 
Centrosema virginianum (L) Benih 
(PIEDMONT BUTTERFLY-PEA) — A perennial 
twining vine with large axillary lavender 
flowers, sometimes cultivated and easily 
grown, blooming the first season from seed. 
Cercidium floridum Benth (BLUE PALO- 
VERDE)—A drought-resistant compact tree 15 
to 25 feet high that occurs in sandy washes 
or depressions in southern California and 
Arizona. 
Ceratonia siliqua - (Caros)—A beauti- 
ful drought-resistant evergreen tree with 
broad glossy dark-green leaves, native to 
the eastern Mediterranean region. In this 
country it is grown largely as an ornamental 
and shade tree in southern Florida and Cali- 
fornia, although in California at least the 
pods are locally ground for cattle food. 
Cercis canadensis L (EASTERN REDBUD) 
—A tree up to 40 feet, occurring throughout 
the United States east of the ninety-eighth 
meridian. It is sometimes known as Judas- 
tree and in the Northern States is highly 
prized as an ornamental. 
Chamaecrista fasciculata (Mich x ) 
Greene (SHOWY PARTRIDGE-PEA)—An erect 
or spreading annual herb 1 to 3 feet high, 
with showy yellow flowers sometimes 1 inch 
wide. It occurs in dry fields and meadows 
from Massachusetts to Florida, west to 
South Dakota and New Mexico. It is also 
called prairie senna, large-flowered sensi- 
tive-pea, and dwarf cassia. Sometimes an 
annual lespedeza is sown with it to provide 
a better soil-protecting cover. It is practi- 
cally the only legume occurring on land to 
be devoted to tobacco to which the tobacco 
farmer does not object. In Georgia and 
Florida it is considered an important honey 
plant, often occurring where few other 
honey plants are found and providing nectar 
in late midsummer before autumn honey 
flowers bloom. 
Chamaecrista nictitans (L) Moench 
(SENSITIVE PARTRIDGE-PEA)—An annual or 
sometimes perennial, erect or decumbent 
herb up to 2 feet in height, with small yel- 
low flowers about one-fourth inch long. It 
occurs in dry or moist, sandy soil from 
Maine to Georgia, west to Texas and Kan- 
sas.
