Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Amphicarpaea (Greek, alluding to the two kinds of pods). Spelled also Amphicarpa. Leguminosae. Hog Peanut. A genus of 6-8 species of herbaceous perennial vines of E. N. Amer. and India, considered by some to contain also the species now credited to Falcata. Fls. of 2 kinds, the upper axillary, racemose and showy, the lower apetalous, fertile, and borne in the lower axils.—Not in the American trade and cult, only in botanic gardens. The only common species are A. monoica, Ell. (Falcata comosa, Auct.), and A. Pitcheri, Torr. & Gray. Both are pubescent or glabrate vines, with trifoliolate Lvs., white or purplish fls., and rather conspicuous pods.—Of little value horticulturally.
