Pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi) is an important forage plant for cattle, horses, and sheep in subtropical climates. This low-growing, creeping plant grows well in shade in well-drained soils. Pinto peanut is so-named because it is a wild-growing member of the peanut family. "Amarillo" is a cultivar of the plant that is most commonly grown for forage.
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an annual that can grow from 46 to 61 cm tall. It is a legume crop grown mostly for its edible seeds. Golden yellow flowers bloom in spring and seed begins to develop after flowers fade. The peanut pods grow underground. Cultivated and harvested peanuts and peanut oil are used in a variety of products.
Wild Peanut is a wild herb, distant ancestor of cultivated peanuts. Unlike modern peanuts, it is not as resistant to diseases and produces a smaller yield. This herb is rarely cultivated outside its native South American habitat.
Creeping peanut is a low-growing, sprawling perennial with a knack for colonizing open sandy soils. Its oval, hairy leaves and yellow, pea-like flowers are characteristic, showing its kinship with the peanut. Favoring a warm climate, creeping peanut's creeping stems root at the nodes, allowing it to spread effectively across its preferred habitat.
