Fenugreek – Trigonella foenum graecum
Trigonella foenum-graecum is an annual Fabaceae. Its leaves divide into three leaflets, while pea-like flowers arise in the leaf axils. This differs from the stalked clusters of blue flowers in Trigonella caerulea. Botanical names distinguish these two related species when both are sold as fenugreek seed.
