Arachis pinto or the Pinto Peanut is a wild perennial relative of the groundnut or peanut and has been of increasing importance to pasture improvement in the tropics.
Its stoloniferous growth habit, subterranean seed production, high forage quality, and acceptability to grazing cattle are of particular value.
The most common cultivar was first released in 1989 as cv. 'Amarillo' in Australia.
