Vicia biennis is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Fabaceae. [1]
Its native range is Hungary to Western Siberia and Caucasus. [1]
Vicia sativa, known as the common vetch, garden vetch, tare or simply vetch, is a nitrogen-fixing leguminous plant in the family Fabaceae. It is now naturalised throughout throughout the world occurring on every continent, except antarctica and the arctic. The centre of diversity is thought to be the Fertile Crescent, although gold standard molecular confirmation is currently not available.
Lunaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It is native to Europe and has been introduced to North America and elsewhere. Species include:
Forage is a plant material eaten by grazing livestock. Historically, the term forage has meant only plants eaten by the animals directly as pasture, crop residue, or immature cereal crops, but it is also used more loosely to include similar plants cut for fodder and carried to the animals, especially as hay or silage.
Vicia is a genus of over 240 species of flowering plants that are part of the legume family (Fabaceae), and which are commonly known as vetches. Member species are native to Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa. Some other genera of their subfamily Faboideae also have names containing "vetch", for example the vetchlings (Lathyrus) or the milk-vetches (Astragalus). The lentils are included in genus Vicia, and were formerly classified in genus Lens. The broad bean is sometimes separated in a monotypic genus Faba; although not often used today, it is of historical importance in plant taxonomy as the namesake of the order Fabales, the Fabaceae and the Faboideae. The tribe Vicieae in which the vetches are placed is named after the genus' current name. The true peas (Pisum) are among the closest living relatives of vetches.
Oenothera biennis, the common evening-primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Onagraceae, native to eastern and central North America, from Newfoundland west to Alberta, southeast to Florida, and southwest to Texas, and widely naturalized elsewhere in temperate and subtropical regions. Evening primrose oil is produced from the plant.
Artemisia biennis is a species of sagebrush known by the common name biennial wormwood. It is a common and widely distributed weed, so well established in many places that its region of origin is difficult to ascertain. This species is most likely native to northwestern North America and naturalized in Western Europe, and eastern and southern North America.
Lathyrus linifolius is a species of pea, commonly called bitter vetch or heath pea. The name bitter vetch is also sometimes used for Vicia ervilia and also for Vicia orobus. The tubers of Lathyrus linifolius were formerly used as an appetite suppressant in medieval Scotland, and this use has brought the plant to recent medical attention. Attempts are being made to cultivate the plant on a commercial scale.
Crepis biennis is a European species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae with the common name rough hawksbeard. It is native to Europe and Asia Minor, as well as being sparingly naturalized in scattered locations in the northeastern United States and on the island of Newfoundland in eastern Canada.
Vicia unijuga, commonly called two-leaf vetch, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family.
Vicia cassubica, called Kashubian vetch and Danzig vetch, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Vicia, native to most of Europe, Turkey, the Levant, the Caucasus and Iran. Found in thermophilous oak forests, it also does well in old fields that are in later stages of succession.
Vicia pisiformis is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Fabaceae.
Vicia dennesiana is a species in the Fabaceae family, named after the solicitor and plant collector George Edgar Dennes. It is protected by the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats. This species has not been found in the wild since 1848, and is considered extinct in its natural habitat. It has not been observed in cultivation since 1922.
Vicia narbonensis, called Narbon bean, Narbon vetch, Narbonne vetch and moor's pea, is a widely distributed species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Madeira and the Mediterranean countries through to Central Asia and the western Himalayas, and has been introduced to central and eastern Europe, and scattered other locations. It has some palatability issues, but has potential as a green manure and forage crop, and for its beans. It is the namesake of the Vicia narbonensis species complex.
Vicia bithynica known as Bithynian vetch, is a species of flowering plant in the bean family Fabaceae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus, initially as Lathyrus bithynicus but later moved to the genus Vicia (vetches). The specific name is derived from Bithynia, an ancient kingdom situated on the north coast of Anatolia, in modern day Turkey.
Vicia anatolica is a species of flowering plant in the vetch genus Vicia, family Fabaceae. It is native to Crimea, the Caucasus, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan. As its synonym Vicia hajastana it is used in studies of cytoskeletal structures and other cellular functions since it is amenable to laboratory media culturing.
Vicia graminea is a species of flowering plant in the vetch genus Vicia, family Fabaceae. It is native to South America, where it has a meandering distribution in Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, northeast Argentina, southern Brazil, Uruguay, and southern Chile. It is the source for a lectin that is used to identify the N blood group antigen.
Vicia leucantha is a species of plants in the family Fabaceae.
Vicia monantha, the barn vetch, is a widespread species of annual herb in the family Fabaceae. It native to the Mediterranean region, and western and central Asia, and has been introduced to Australia. Typical of vetches, it has a climbing habit and pinnate leaves.
Vicia parviflora, the slender vetch, is a species of annual herb in the family Fabaceae. They are climbers and have compound, broad leaves. Individuals can grow to 0.24 m.
