Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Arachis (Greek, without a rachis). Leguminosae. Peanut. Goober. The peanut is sometimes grown in the economic house of botanical gardens, and also as a curiosity in outdoor gardens. The genus has nine species, of which eight are Brazilian. Lvs. abruptly pinnate: fls. 1-3, yellow, in a dense, axillary, sessile spike; ovary stipitate, inclosed within the tube of the calyx, the stipe at first short, subsequently elongating and carrying the immature fr. beneath the ground. Here develops what is one of the most anomalous frs. in the whole Leguminosae, it being wholly indéhiscent,—the peanut of commerce (which see). See also Cyclo. Amer. Agric., Vol. II, pp. 514-519 for pictures and agricultural account. As a hothouse annual, the seeds of the peanut may be sown in heat, and the plants potted in sandy loam. For outdoor culture, see Peanut, by which name the plant is commonly known.
