SC - Re: african peanuts?

[Decker, Terry D.]

This is a place to be careful of usage.  Groundnut is a general word.  In
British usage, it commonly refers to the peanut (Arachis hypogaea), but in
American usage, it often refers to Apios americana, a vine with an edible
tuber found in eastern North America.
