Th'is very singular plant has the property of
forcing the fruit or pods as they increase m
size into the earth, where they ripen their
seeds, hence the trivial name earth-nut. It
m-ows in sandy loam singly in pots, and is
multiplied from offsets. In South Carolina the
seed is roasted, and used as chocolate ; it further
affords a thin limpid oil, proper for lamps,
a purpose to which it is applied in Cochin-
Chiua.
