Lentils, the seeds of Lens esculenta Moench (Ervum Lens L.), havebeen used in Oriental countries as food for man since very ancient sold his birthright for a mess of pottage made from this seed. Atpresent the plant is cultivated chiefly in the countries bordering on theMediterranean. The Latin word lens, meaning primarily lentil, was afterwardapplied by the philosophers to the biconvex magnifying glass because ofits resemblance to the lentil in shape. The seeds are gray-brown or redin color and 5-7 mm. in diameter. The long and narrow hilum, as wellas the micropyle and raphe, are on the narrow edge. 246 LEGUMES.
