Arachis

Arachis is a genus of about 70 species of annual and perennial flowering plants in the pea family (Fabaceae), native to South America, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Pterocarpus clade of the Dalbergieae.[1][2] At least one species, the peanut (Arachis hypogaea), is a major food crop species of global importance; some of the other species are cultivated for food to a small extent in South America. Other species such as A. pintoi are cultivated worldwide as forage and soil conditioner plants, with the leaves providing high-protein feed for grazing livestock and a nitrogen source in agroforestry and permaculture systems.

This article is about the legume genus which includes peanuts. For the fictional planet, see Arrakis.

Hybrids
  • Arachis × batizogaea Krapov. & A. Fernández
gollark: If the power or water supply fail here, I'll probably be somewhat uncomfortable until they're restored, but be basically fine, at least as long as they're available somewhere not too far away.
gollark: No, the requirements on a space habitat are higher.
gollark: I probably don't want to be somewhere which relies on infrastructure continuously flawlessly operating for me to not die, considering.
gollark: That would probably be hard to run in real time on-device and would probably not matter if you're exploiting it anyway.
gollark: The consumer things will inevitably have poor security, probably backdoors, and the ability to accept feeds you don't really want for advertising.
