Poisonous plants. 526 MANUAL OF POISONOUS PLANTS Prof. N. E. Hansen through his exploration has brought into prominence the yellow-flowered alfalfas from Siberia, Medicago rulhenica and M. platy- carpa, and some of the hardy alfalfas are apparently hybrids between M. sativa M. falcttta. C. ,V. Piper * calls attention to a number of valuable leguminous for- age plants that should be cultivated in this country, such as the Lyon bean (Stizolobium Lyoni).

The Kudzu (Pueraria Thunbergiana) a woody native of Japan, is much used as a forage plant in that country and has been cuilti- vated in Florida. The Guar {Cyamopsis tetragomoloba) is an East India annual legume and is said to be very drouth resistant. Tangier pea {Lathyrus tingitanus) is a native of Northern Africa. It is excellent and said not to be poisonous like the other species. The moth bean (Phaseolus aconiti- folius) is used for food in India and is said to be a splendid forage plant. The Adzuki bean (Phaseolus angularis) native of southern Asia is used for food in China, Japan and India, and is said to possess vaulable qualities as a hay plant. The Kulti (Dolichos biflorus) native to India is said to give promise in the semi-arid regions in Texas as a valuable forage plant. Under the Vetches the more recent introductions that give promise are the scarlet vetch (Vicia fulgens) of Northern Africa, the black purple vetch (V. atropurpurea) of Algeria and the woolly pod.
