description
Vegetative characteristics
Vavilovia formosa is a perennial herbaceous plant . It forms long underground rhizomes as permanent organs and long roots. The 5 to 15 cm above the ground, spreading or creeping stems are thin, not angular and bare.
The alternate, stalked leaves are pinnate in pairs with only one pair of pinnate leaves. The two broad leaflets are wedge-shaped to almost circular, thick, with a bare surface and a smooth edge. In some populations, the leaflets have a keel-shaped base - this was used for some time to delimit a second species ( Vavilovia aucheri (Jaub. & Spach) Fed. ). The foliage leaf does not end with a tendril, unlike many related species of the tribe Fabeae. The small, almost arrow-shaped stipules are not fused with the petiole.
Generative characteristics
The flowers are usually single in the leaf axils on an inflorescence stem. There are small, inconspicuous bracts, but no bracts.
The large, attractive, hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and five-fold with a double flower envelope . The five sepals are bell-shaped fused with almost the same narrow triangular calyx teeth. The corolla has the typical structure of a butterfly flower. The five petals are pink to purple in color. The short and wide nailed flag is usually elongated. The wings are sickle-shaped or elongated. The shuttle is shorter than the wings, not comb-shaped and sometimes white. The ten stamens are all or only nine fused together. The anthers are bare and smooth. There will be a pollination by insects believed to be missing but data.
The linear-elongated legume with a length of 2 to 3.5 cm opens and contains three to five seeds. The spherical to egg-shaped seeds are smooth, usually with dark spots on the surface.
Vavilovia formosa has a diploid chromosome set with 2n = 14.
Occurrence
It occurs in the Middle East north to the Caucasus . Information about the location of Vavilovia formosa is available for Iran , Iraq , Russia (Checheno- Ingushetia , Dagestan , Severo- Ossetia ), Azerbaijan , Lebanon , Armenia and the Asian part of Turkey . It thrives as a debris plant in mountain regions at altitudes between 1500 and 3500 meters.
Systematics

This species was under the name Orobus formosus by Christian von Steven in Mémoires de la Société Impériale of Naturalistes de Moscou , 4, 1812-13, p.50 first described . It was placed in the genus Vavilovia in 1939 by Trudy Botanicheskogo Instituta, Akademii Nauk Armyanskoi SSR , 1, p. 52 . Other synonyms for Vavilovia formosa (Steven) Fed. are: Alophotropis aucheri (Jaub. & Spach) Grossh. , Alophotropis formosa (Steven) Grossh. , Pisum aucheri Jaub. & Spach , Pisum formosum (Steven) Alef. , Vavilovia aucheri (Jaub. & Spach) Fed. , Vicia aucheri Boiss. The generic name Vavilovia honors the Russian botanist, geneticist and explorer Nikolai Iwanowitsch Wawilow . The specific epithet formosa means beautiful.
