{{Inc| Voandzeia (from a native name). Leguminosae. One species, V. subterranea, Thouars, cult. widely by the natives of Cent. Afr. for its underground peanut-like seeds. It is a prostrate herb with a creeping pubescent rhizome from which arise slender-stalked compound lvs.: lfts. 3, oblong or lanceolate, 3 in. or less long, with minute obtuse stipels: fls. yellow, 1/4 or 1/3 in. long, papilionaceous, 1-3 on flexuous peduncles; calyx very small; standard obovate; wings equaling standard, oblanceolate; keel boat-shaped, not beaked; stamens diadelphous: fr. a tuber-like roundish pod, about 1/2 in. or more long, with 1 or 2 small seeds; the peduncle elongates after flowering and the ovary is buried in the earth, where the fr. ripens; seeds globose-ellipsoidal, about 2/5 – 3/5 in. long, yellow-mottled. Until very recently the plant has been unknown in a wild state, but it has now been found natively in Nigeria and German Adamaua (see Kew Bull. 1912, p. 213; and in this article the plant is distinguished from Kerstingiella geocarpa, page 1737, another underground legume widely cult. in Trop. Afr.). Voandzeia appears not to have been intro. in this country. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
