Description of Legumes 
Acacia greggii Gray (CATCLAW ACACIA) 
—A drought-resistant shrub or small tree 
with short curved spines and dense cylin- 
drical clusters of fragrant cream-yellow flow- 
ers. It is known also as long-flowered cat- 
claw, devil’s claw, Gregg acacia, paradise 
flower, Texas mimosa, and ufia de gato (claw 
of cat). The species occurs from Texas to 
California and grows best on dry, sunny, 
well-drained sites. 
Aeschynomene virginica (SENSITIVE 
JOINTVETCH )—An erect herbaceous annual 
2 to 5 feet high with pinnate leaves and 
rather large reddish-yellow flowers. It oc- 
curs along river banks throughout the Coast- 
al Plain from Pennsylvania and New Jersey 
to Florida and Louisiana and is also known 
as shy-leaves. It prefers moist light soil 
and is a common rice-field weed. 
Albizzia julibrissin Durazzini ( SILK - 
medium-sized tree, with silky 
heads of pink flowers, native to warm tem- 
perate Asia from Persia to Japan. It is a 
hardy ornamental grown in the United States 
as far north as Washington, D. C. In the 
Southern States it is commonly called mim- 
osa. Because of its rapid growth, attractive, 
finely divided leaves, and odd flowers it is 
widely used as an ornamental. 
Alhagi camelorum /isch (CAMELTHORN) 
—A low spiny shrublike perennial with 
bright red flowers, native from the Caucasus 
to the Himalayas. It has been introduced 
to this country within the past 25 years and 
is now adventive in the Southwest and south- 
ern California, especially in date plantings 
and alfalfa fields. The plant is apparently 
relished by horses. It is an aggressive spe- 
cies, reproducing by seeds and deep root- 
stocks. 
Alysicarpus vaginalis DC  (ALyCECLOo- 
VER)—A native of the East Indies now grown 
as a summer cover crop in parts of Florida, 
where it reseeds annually and so maintains 
a perennial cover. It is adapted to dry, 
sandy loam soils and is useful as a hay and 
pasture plant. It is a creeping annual with 
stems 1 to 3 feet long, unifoliolate leaves, 
varying greatly in shape, but usually broadly 
ovate and about 1 inch long, and crowded 
racemes of 6 to .12 rosy or pale-purple 
flowers. 
Amorpha fruticosa | (INpIGoBUSH)—A 
very variable branching shrub up to 15 feet 
in height, with spikes of white to blue or 
deep purple flowers. It is also known as 
bastard-indigo and river-locust. It has been 
much planted in the Great Plains, where it 

is used in windbreak borders and buffer | 
strips for controlling wind erosion. 
Amphiearpa bracteata (AMERICAN HOG- | 
| PEANUT) 
| with trifoliolate leaves 
| plish-brown flowers. It is also known as | 
| wild peanut and mouse bean and occurs in 

A twining slender perennial vine 
rich, moist woodlands and thickets from 
Maine to Florida, west to Vexas and the 
The vines are eaten by livestock 
and the underground pods by hogs. 
Anthyllis vulnerarian LL (Kipxeyvvercu) 
A deep-rooted hardy perennial Eurasian heth | 
| about 1 foot high. with pinnate leaves and 
yellow to deep-red flowers, occurring as an 
escape near our eastern seaports. It is also 
known as sandclover 
is a forage plant of some value for poor, 
light, sandy lands in the more northern lati- 
tudes, although not grown commercially in 
this country. 
Arachis hypogaea | (PraAnuv)—A 
branched yellow-flowered annual herb 10 to 
20 inches high, also known as goober and | 
groundnut. Being sensitive to frost, the pea 
nut cannot be grown commercially north of | 
Washington, D. C., but thrives south of that 
latitude and westward on sandy loamy soils | 
that have been limed. The green plants are | 
relished by hogs, and the cured tops make 
excellent forage. 
Astragalus erassicarpus Nutt (GROUND- | 
PLUM)—A decumbent perennial, once so 
abundant as to tinge the prairies with the 
violet-purple color of its flowers and pods. 
It is still common on the prairies and plains 
from Montana to Tennessee and New Mex- 
ico and it has been locally cultivated as a 
forage crop. It is also known as buffalo pea 
and is relished and easily exterminated by 
livestock: the pods have served in times of 
stress for human food.
