A large family of trees, shrubs, vines, and herbs bearing bean pods; divided for convenience into the subfamilies Caesalpiniaceae; Mimosaceae; Papilionaceae.
ACACIA, a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to the familyLeguminosae and the sub-family Mimoseae.
1
Vegetable cultivated areas increased in Belgium for several years, mainly Fabaceae species such as peas and beans.
2
Living plants from the fabaceae family, which includes the shamrock, have been banned for some time.
3
Lentils are a legume, seeds from a family of plants called fabaceae, which also includes peanuts and chickpeas.
1
Peanuts really belong to the legumefamily, but are quite as good as any kind of nuts.
2
But research suggests that these edible seeds of the legumefamily are well worth including in the diet.
3
Lentils are grouped with beans and peas as part of the legumefamily because, like all legumes, they grow in pods.
1
This, they declared, was a distinctive characteristic of the peafamily.
2
It does not belong to the solanaceous, but to the papilionaceous or peafamily, and its flowers have a delightful fragrance.
3
It's no wonder this hugely decorative member of the peafamily is so fondly known to many gardeners as the queen of the annuals.
4
You're right," he said, "it belongs to the PeaFamily."
5
This member of the Peafamily is of dwarf, branching growth, thickly clothed with glandular hairs, and bears yellow flowers, succeeded by reddish-purple pods.
1
Smithia sensitiva.-Thisplant belongs to a distinct sub-order of the Leguminosae from Cassia.
2
Next to the Leguminosae come the Malvaceae, together with some closely allied families.
3
This tree belongs to the natural order Leguminosae, sub-order Papilionaceae.
4
Trifolium arvense (Leguminosae).-Theexcessively small flowers are incessantly visited by hive and humble-bees
5
Cytisus fragrans (Leguminosae).-Onlya few observations were made on this plant.
6
Lupinus speciosus (Leguminosae).-Plantswere raised from seed purchased under this name.
7
Among them are numerous Leguminosae-oneof the most striking, the fava, having a colossal pod.
8
Lathyrus grandiflorus (Leguminosae).-Isin this country more or less sterile.
9
ACACIA, a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to the family Leguminosae and the sub-family Mimoseae.
10
Mimosa pudica (Leguminosae).-Thecotyledons rise up vertically at night, so as to close together.
11
I want seeds of three or four plants (not Leguminosae or Cruciferae) which produce large cotyledons.
12
Orchids and Leguminosae are scarce in islets, because the necessary fertilising insects have not migrated with the plants.
13
In the Leguminosae all the cotyledons which sleep, as far as we have seen, are provided with pulvini.
14
At night the two halves rise up and close completely together, like the opposite leaflets of many Leguminosae.
15
Vicia sativa (Leguminosae).-Protectedand unprotected plants produced an equal number of pods and equally fine seeds.
16
Lathyrus nissolia (Leguminosae).-Thisplant was selected for observation from being an abnormal form with grass-likeleaves.
