Vicia unijuga
is a perennial herb inhabiting fields and mountains. The stems are
erect, 30-60cm in height, with several leaves, each consisting of
just a single pair of leaflets, with few tendrils at the apex. The
brochures measure 4-7cm in length and 1.5-4cm in width, generally in
the shape of an oval; variable, however. Flowers, red-purple,
approximately 1.5cm in height, set themselves on peduncles that
emerged from leaf axils in a cluster way in racemes. Legumes (fruit)
measure around 3cm in length. Bloom time: June-October. |
