Note 1 — Chapter I · DESCRIPTION.

While "goober" may be one of the names of the Peanut in some localities, the plant so-called in Georgia is Amphicarpæa monoica, a native leguminous plant with two kinds of flowers, one set always subterranean, and the other above ground. The under-ground flowers bear woody, rounded, one-seeded pods, with a seed closely resembling a bean.—Ed.
