Guar. An annual forage plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, Taub.), of the Leguminosae, has been tried somewhat in this country with promise. It appears to be adapted to the warmer parts of the country, requiring about the same conditions as the cowpea. It is from India.
The '''guar bean''' or '''cluster bean''', an annual [[legume]], is the source of [[guar gum]]. It grows best under conditions with frequent rainfall, but tolerates arid conditions well.<ref>[http://www.agrogums.com/products.html "Guar Gum" - Agro Gums]</ref> 80% of world production is in [[India]], but due to strong demand, it is being introduced into new areas.
