Fig. 215 shows a cleistogamous flower of the hog- peanut at a. Above the true roots, slen- der rhizomes bear these flowers, which are provided with a calj'x and a curving corolla which does not open. Inside are the stamens and pistils. The pupil must not confound the nodules on the roots of hog-peanut with the cleistogamous flow- ers : these nodules are concerned in the appropriation of food. Late in summer the cleistogamous flowers may be found just underneath the mould. They never rise above ground. The following sum- mer one may find a seedling plant with the remains of the old cleistogamous flower still adhering to the root. The hog-peanut is a common low twiner in woods. It also bears racemes of small Cleistogamous flowers usually appear They seem to insure pea-like flowers after the showy flowers have passed a crop of seed by a method which expends little of the plant's energy.
