The Peanut Institute   http://www.peanut-institute.org/PeanutFAQs.html
US Customs Service    
http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/imp-exp1/comply/peanuts.htm
Columbia Encyclopedia  http://bartleby.com/65/pe/peanut.html

This last is most interesting because it refers to peanuts as a member
of the family Leguminosae also known by the common name the "pulse"
family. If you click on the hyperlink to "pulse" from that page, you go
to:
   http://bartleby.com/65/pu/pulse2.html

Where they refer to the "pulse" family also known as Fabaceae (which
your sources all provided) aka Leguminosae, which is how they refer to
the family for the rest of the page. So, it sounds like we may have been
arguing that his name is "Mr. Evanier" or "Mark", when in reality it's
both...
