- After its flowers fade, the stalks bend down and push the young pods into the soil to ripen underground.
- Despite the name, it is not a true nut but a legume, a relative of peas and beans.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
