The sweet pea ( Lathyrus odoratus ), which is occasionally referred to as "sweet peas" or "garden pea", does not belong to the genus Vicia , but is a species of the genus flat peas ( Lathyrus ).
description
Vegetative characteristics
Vicia species are annual or perennial herbaceous plants . The mostly thin and branched stems can be upright on their own, in some species they are overhanging, but many species have winding tendrils with which they climb up other plants.
The alternate, stalked leaves are usually pinnate in pairs. The rachis ends in a tendril or a spike tip; in Vicia subvillosa it ends with a leaflet, so this species is pinnate unpaired. There are 1 to 13 pairs of ganzrandigen pinna flake available. The stipules have a smooth or toothed edge.
Generative characteristics
The flowers stand individually to a few in the leaf axils or in lateral, racemose inflorescences . Small bracts are present, but can fall off early; Cover sheets are missing.
The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and five-fold with double perianth . The five dissimilar to the same sepals are fused bell-shaped and often hairy, with at least two calyx teeth less than twice as long as the calyx tube. The five petals are arranged in the typical structure of the butterfly flowers. The colors of the petals range from many shades of blue to purple to red, yellow or white. The flag is nailed. There are ten stamens with thin stamens. The individual carpels contain two to eight ovules . The pencil-shaped stylus is hairy.
The flattened legume contains two to eight seeds. The mostly spherical to elongated seeds have an often elongated hilum and a thin aril .
distribution
The distribution area mainly includes the temperate climatic zones of the northern hemisphere , but also reaches the South American Andes , tropical Africa and Hawaii .
