Abstract
An expanded scheme of groundnut variety classification is presented which is revised in the light of recently collected West African material and is designed in concordance with the most recent taxonomic treatment of the species Arachis hypogaea L. This species consists of two subspecies ssp. hypogaea and ssp. fastigiata Waldron. Each subspecies contains two botanical varieties. Those of ssp. hypogaea are var. hypogaea and var. hirsuta Kohler and those of ssp. fastigiata Waldron are var. fastigiata and var. vulgaris Harz. Each infraspecific taxon contains a morphologically distinct group of cultivated varieties.
