Lathyrus venosus is a species of flowering plant native to North America. It is part of the botanical family Fabaceae and is commonly known as veiny pea.[2][3]
Description
Lathyrus venosus is a perennial vine with herbaceous stems, growing from a creeping rhizome.[4] The stems are climbing or sprawling and measure about 0.9–1.2 metres (3–4 feet) in length.[4] The leaves are alternate and even-pinnate with usually 8–12 leaflets, ending in a branched tendril.[4][5][6] Each leaflet is roughly oval in shape, is untoothed, and lacks hair.[4] The papilionaceous flowers grow from the leaf axils in clusters of 8–15. They are arranged in a raceme and are generally pink, purple, or blue.[4] The fruit is a hairless seedpod.[4]
Distribution and habitat
Lathyrus venosus grows naturally in most of southeastern continental Canada and eastern continental United States.[lower-alpha 1][7] It generally grows in pine and prairie woodlands, along streams, on rocky slopes and roadsides, and in sandy ground.[2][4]
Conservation status
The plant is globally secure, although in some parts of its range it may be at a lower status locally.[1][4]
Names
Common names include veiny pea,[2][3] veiny vetchling,[4][8] bushy vetchling[9] forest pea,[10] smooth veiny-pea,[10] smooth veiny peavine,[8] and gesse veinée (in French).[8]
