Lathyrus delnorticus is an uncommon species of wild pea known by the common name Del Norte pea. It is native to the Klamath Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California , where it is a member of the serpentine soils flora.[1] This is a hairless perennial herb producing a winged or flanged stem. The leaves are made up of several pairs of oval or lance-shaped leaflets and the stipules of the leaves are wide and toothed. There are branching, coiled tendrils. The plant bears a dense inflorescence of up to 10 pea lavender-veined white flowers each up to 1.5 centimeters wide. The fruit is a hairless dehiscent legume pod.
