Hildebrandtii, Land.), is a free-flowering shrub, with a penetrating odor, and hairy branches: lvs. elliptic, nearly 2 in. long, slightly crenulate: fls. purple-blue in many distant and dense axillary cymes; corolla less than ,½in. long. Brit. Cent. Afr.; recently cult. at Kew. Earth-nut, Earth-pea. Little-used names for the peanut, goober or pinder, Arachis hypogaea. The words earth-nut and ground-nut are used for many subterranean tubers, without much discrimination, and therefore they have small value as vernaculars. They may be applied to the underground tubers of Apios tuberosa, Panax trifolium, Erigenia bulbosa, Cyperus esculentus, and others. Earth-apple, earth-gall and similar variants are in use for various plants. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
