Hedysarum (Greek for sweet smell). Leguminosae. Perhaps a dozen North American herbs, and about sixty in the Old World, sometimes planted for ornament. Perennial herbs or subshrubs, with odd pinnate lvs., and often showy racemes of red, purple or white, small pea-like fls.: calyx 5-cleft, the teeth nearly equal and pointed; standard obcordate or obovate; keel nearly straight and longer than the wings; stamens 9 and 1: fr. a flattened jointed pod.—Very closely allied to Desmodium, but the latter genus has 3-foliate lvs. Many of the hedysarums are attractive border plants. They are of easiest cult, in a light and open, well-drained soil. Give a sunny place; hardy. Prop, by division and seeds. For the sainfoin, sometimes known as H. onobrychis, see Onobrychis.
