Lathyrus belinensis, also known as the Belin pea is a flowering plant species in the genus Lathyrus under the family Fabaceae. The species was discovered in Turkey by botanists Nigel Maxted and David John Goyder and was first described in 1988. The species is a highly localized endemic found only in the Turkish province of Antalya. L. belinensis was listed among the top one hundred most endangered species of the world by the IUCN in 2012.
Lathyrus belinensis is endemic to Turkey, where it is found within the province of Antalya. Their entire wild population is restricted to an area of 2 km2 on the outskirts of Belin village. It naturally grows on rocky, limestone hillsides in temperate grassland and shrubland at elevations of 560 metres (1,840 ft) above sea level. It has also been known to grow in manmade habitats such as graveyards, the sides of roads, railway tracks and margins between arable land. It is also occasionally grown outside of its natural range in gardens as a rare ornamental plant.
