Lathyrus aureus, the golden pea, is a species of flowering plant in the pea family Fabaceae, native to Greece,[1] Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania.[2] In early summer this bushy herbaceous perennial produces many erect spikes of dusky yellow or orange flowers. Each spike is 1.5–2 cm (0.59–0.79 in) long.[1]
Lathyrus aureus is cultivated as an ornamental, for a sunny or partially shaded position in rich neutral or acid soil. As contact may cause mild indigestion, it is best handled with gloves.[1]
