A large family of trees, shrubs, vines, and herbs bearing bean pods; divided for convenience into the subfamilies Caesalpiniaceae; Mimosaceae; Papilionaceae.
The country around is covered with bushes and trees of a kind of leguminosae, with lilac flowers.
2
The cerrados, as they are called, or scrub-consisting chiefly of acacias and leguminosae-reachto the height of ten or twenty feet.
3
Dragon-flies shoot in vigorous zigzags through the dancing swarms, and a rich profusion of butterflies-theleguminosae of insects-makea fine addition to the general show.
4
Smithia sensitiva.-Thisplant belongs to a distinct sub-order of the Leguminosae from Cassia.
5
Next to the Leguminosae come the Malvaceae, together with some closely allied families.
6
This tree belongs to the natural order Leguminosae, sub-order Papilionaceae.
7
Trifolium arvense (Leguminosae).-Theexcessively small flowers are incessantly visited by hive and humble-bees
8
Cytisus fragrans (Leguminosae).-Onlya few observations were made on this plant.
9
Lupinus speciosus (Leguminosae).-Plantswere raised from seed purchased under this name.
10
Among them are numerous Leguminosae-oneof the most striking, the fava, having a colossal pod.
11
Lathyrus grandiflorus (Leguminosae).-Isin this country more or less sterile.
12
ACACIA, a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to the family Leguminosae and the sub-family Mimoseae.
13
Mimosa pudica (Leguminosae).-Thecotyledons rise up vertically at night, so as to close together.
14
Leguminosae.-ThisFamily includes many more genera with sleeping species than all the other families put together.
15
I want seeds of three or four plants (not Leguminosae or Cruciferae) which produce large cotyledons.
16
Orchids and Leguminosae are scarce in islets, because the necessary fertilising insects have not migrated with the plants.
