Tufted vetch

Tufted vetch
Tufted vetch (Viccia cracca) is a perennial Eurasian plant that was introduced into North America over 140 years ago. Flowers bluish-purple, pea-like, about 12mm (1/2in.) long, often 30 or more crowded together on one side of a long bare stalk. This photo shows just one of these many tiny flowers, distinguishable by its resemblance to a hummingbird! Vicia is the ancient Latin name for Vetch. Also known as Bird Vetch and Cow Vetch.
