Ornithopus (bird's foot, referring to form of pod). Leguminosae. A few plants allied to Coronilla and Scorpiurus, from the Canary Isls. through Eu. to W. Asia; and also in Trop. Afr. and S. Brazil. They are little known horticulturally. The fls. are very small, whitish, rose or yellow in umbels, papilionaceous; standard nearly orbicular; wings oblong; keel obtuse and nearly straight; stamens diadelphous: pod much exceeding the calyx, separating into 1-seeded joints or parts. They are slender spreading annuals with pinnate Lvs. and axillary peduncles.
The genus is known in cult, in the serradella, a forage plant in Eu., but of very small importance in this country. It is O. sativus, Brot., of Spain and Morocco: slender-stemmed and much-branched annual, 1½-2 ft., with strong tap-root: lfts. many, ovate: fls. rose-colored, in few-fld. umbels. It is sown in early spring, 40-60 Ibs. of seed to the acre.
