Lathyrus clymenum |
 |
| | Immature pods, late June |
According to some information I had found, this species is supposed to be more freestanding than most lathyrus - but I found it to have much the same habit, laxly climbing up into the fence the backs our cutting garden. The plant has the typical winged stems, and small but charming purple-and-white bicolor flowers. Online photos show color variations where the white is replaced with various shades of pink or purple. The seedpods are marked with a bungundy stripe, and are held mostly horizontally.
