Vicia dennesiana is an extinct vetch from the Azores, last recorded in the wild in 1848 and not seen in cultivation since 1922. It cannot be grown today, so the care guidance below is for reference only.
†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.
The habitat of the species is poorly known. The available data indicate that the species developed on the sheltered slopes of Serra da Tronqueira, São Miguel Island, Azores, but the population was subsequently destroyed in a landslide.
