This is an identification key to genera for seeds and fruits of the legume family. The coverage is world wide, and for each genus there are descriptions of the seeds and fruits, distribution data, and images. The interactive software system INTKEY is used for accessing the data and images. The key can be used for identifying to genus unknown legume samples or for querying the data and images for legume genera, and is designed for seed analysts, technicians, port inspectors, weed scientists, ecologists, botanists, and researchers who need to identify isolated legume fruits and seeds. Procedures relating to preparation, collection, and authentication of data are provided in the 'Procedures' resource file. In order to utilize the identification key the entire folder needs to be downloaded and extracted with all internal structure unmodified.
