Smith (67) reported that 63 percent of the flowers studied produced pegs and one-third of the pegs developed pods, but only percent of the original flowers produced mature fruits (figure 17). Expressed as flowers per fruit the fertility coefficient was Aerial Flower—Subterranean Fruit From the time that the peanut first became known to Europeans, its flowering and fruiting habits attracted widespread attention. In spite of perennial interest in this botanical curiosity, many misconceptions have arisen concerning the structure of its flowers and their relation to nor- mal fruiting. Even today one can hear the statement that the yellow flowers of peanuts have nothing to do with the production of fruit and that there exist peanuts capable of producing 2000 pounds of nuts per.
