Galega (Greek, gala, milk: supposed to increase the flow of milk). Leguminosae. Bushy perennials not very commonly cultivated in America. Of 120 names of species in this genus, only 6 are now retained, most of the others being referred to Tephrosia. The plants mentioned below are hardy herbaceous perennials of the easiest cult., about 3 ft. high, with odd- pinnate lvs. and pea-shaped fls. of purplish blue or white. They do not require frequent division, make bushy plants, and bear in July and Aug. many dense. axillary and terminal racemes of fls., which are useful for cutting. Seeds of goat's rue are still offered abroad among miscellaneous agricultural seeds, but the plants are little known in this country. They are native in S. Eu. and W. Asia.
