Also called Forest Pea, Smooth Veiny Peavine, Smooth Veiny Pea, Veiny Vetchling, Bushy Vetchling, Purple Vetchling
Lathyrus venosus is a native North American climbing perennial pea that grows from a creeping rhizome and scrambles over other plants with tendrils. It is grown in wildflower and native gardens, and it needs a sunny spot with support to climb on.
Lathyrus venosus is a species of flowering plant native to North America. It is part of the botanical family Fabaceae and is commonly known as veiny pea.
Lathyrus venosus grows naturally in most of southeastern continental Canada and the eastern continental United States. It generally grows in pine and prairie woodlands, along streams, on rocky slopes and roadsides, and in sandy ground.
