Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Lotus tetragonolobus, Linn. (Tetragonolobus edulis, Link. T. purpureus, Moench). Winged Pea. Annual trailer: lfts. 3, broad-ovate: fls. solitary or twin, purplish cardinal-red: pods 4-sided, 2-3 in. long, somewhat fleshy at first; seeds yellowish, nearly globular or somewhat flattened. Medit. region. B.M. 151.—Tetra- gonolobus was once considered a separate genus, largely because of the 4 leafy wings of the pod. Grown chiefly for food, the pods being eaten when young and the seeds, when roasted, substituted for coffee. Seeds are sown in drills in April. The plants require no special care except water during drought.
