Pea Tribe
Pea Tribe.
Of this Tribe, Gram (Cicer arietinum), or chick pea, occupies an important position. It is largely used by the people, and constitutes, besides, the great horse-food of Northern and Western India. It can be used for this purpose for a length of time without causing "heating," or the other deleterious effects ordinarily produced by the too exclusive employment of peas and beans.
