Measured on the terminal laeflet of third trifoliate leaf-from pulvinus to leaf tip

Measured on the terminal leaflet of third trifoliate leaf according to the ratio of length, (1) to width (w). See Figure 1

From emergence to stage when 90% of pods are ripe

Average from 10 random plants: if determinate type, from cotyledon scar to last leaf; if indeterminate type, from cotyledon scar to first flowering node

From emergence to stage when 50% of plants have begun to flower

Of fully expanded immature pod See Figure 2

From emergence to stage when 50% of plants have mature pods

Of mature pods

Average of 20 randomly chosen mature pods. If pods are curved, measure the longest straight line from base to tip of pods

Ovule attachment on 20 randomly chosen pods

The lightest colour

Eye always included; if bicoloured pattern consider only the lightest colour of the pattern

Darkest colour of pattern

The different shapes and localization of the pigments observed on the seed testa form the basis for this classification into various patterns. In the following descriptions, refer to Figures 3 and 4 for each part of seed described

Seed taken from middle of pod, see figure 5 for descriptor states
